Screenshot feature with Zoom-In page (Firefox 86.0.1, 64bit)

Post by steo82rm »

Hello everyone, I would like to report a possible bug about the built-in Screenshot feature.

Lately I am not able anymore to take a Full Page Screenshot when I apply a little bit of Zoom-In to the page.
No matter what webpage we are analyzing... Seems a general behavior and actually happens also on this forum webpages.

In particular the results of the Full Page Screenshot, with a Zoom-In applied, is a partial page, sometimes it get cut along the length and not along the height and sometimes it get get along the length and the height (like on this same webpage for example).
I would like to underline the fact that until a month or 2 ago I didn't have any problem with this.

I am uploading now an image to show the result of this current webpage as a Full Page Screenshot as an example (where I have applied just a 4 clicks zoom-in to the page while editing this post - "CTRL + +").

Is anyone aware of this as a possible bug or is there a workaround or possible fix?

Thank you for your attention, help and support.

I can replicate this bug in current Firefox Nightly. Did you ever file a bug?

Looks to be, Bug 1699410 Screenshots are cropped when custom scale is used.

Odd. When I looked initially (& even now), in 78 ESR, I can't seem to duplicate.
Oh, I guess not odd. It says 78 ESR is unaffected.


(What a travesty FF's UI has become. [For me] even finding where the screenshot feature was... But Pocket, Pocket is front & center :rolleyes:.)

Thank you, no I did not file a bug because I saw there were already a few opened on this topic...
Do you suggest me to do this anyway? I have never done it before.
Thank you,

If there is already a bug, opening a duplicate isn't necessary. You can add relevant details that you think add value to an open bug. Not stuff like, "happens to me, too", but specific cases where it breaks or if you can figure out when the feature last worked as expected and the possible changeset that broke it. That way they have a better chance of fixing it quickly. There are tutorials for doing the regression range analysis if you have time to do that, but the longer it's been, the harder it becomes, because you have to download a lot of nightly builds and test them all to find when it worked and when it breaks.

Thanks, I honestly don't think I have much to add or say more. I am sure it is still an open bug to solve and will take a little bit of time...

However I have just done another test with another OS where I still had installed the Firefox 80.1... it was working fine until I have updated the Firefox version and then it is when it stopped working again, meaning that now has the same behavior described above.

Hopefully it will get solved soon in the coming versions of Firefox...

Unless they do an out of band fix, it won't be, because it is still broken in currently nightly, which at this point would become Firefox 90. Firefox 89 is next.
