'Save as' dialog does show during printing a pdf on MacOS.

[Freddy Chen]

Hi there,

I build the Chromium on MacOS. When I choose 'Save as PDF' during printing a pdf and click 'Save' Button, the save as dialog does not show. But if I debug it, the save as dialog will display. I don't know if it is a bug. How do I resolve it?

Please refer to the screenshots bellow.

Thanks in advance.

Freddy.

Does the issue only happen in your Chromium build, or does it also happen in end user products like Google Chrome?

If you don't add a breakpoint and let the failure happen, are there any relevant error messages in the Print Preview UI's devtools JS console?

Hi Lei,

Not only  does it happen in my Chromium build. But It also happens in the cef binaries I download from https://bitbucket.org/chromiumembedded/cef/downloads/?tab=branches.  However it does not happen in the Google Chrome I downloaded and  installed from https://www.google.com/chrome/?utm_source=about.google&utm_medium=referral&utm_campaign=productslist

No, there are no relevant error messages in the Print Preview UI's devtools JS console.

Thanks a lot!

Freddy

Could you actually file a bug report for this on https://crbug.com/new for this issue? This sounds like a bug that is happening to users, and not just an artifact of some developer build weirdness.
