Hello,
I am able to duplicate a print/preview problem using IE 11 with any web page where the preview extends past a "printable" page (8.5 x 11 inches) and contains element(s) that use absolute positioning.
If I use Internet Explorer 10, print/preview functions normally.
I tested the included html (see below) code using F12 and set Emulation to Document mode 10 and User Agent String to "Internet Explorer 10". The preview still fails to include all elements.
Apparently something in the rendering engine has changed from Internet Explorer version 10 to 11 with regard to absolute positioning, even when using Compatibility/Emulation mode.
I notice that "Gecko" based browsers (Firefox) fail similarly.
"Blink" based browsers, notably Chrome, are functional.
Is there an IE fix for absolute positioning of elements?
The following is a brief test page that should illustrate the problem. Output should consist of 3 sets of controls. When viewed as a web page, the controls are placed properly and render correctly. If viewed in print/preview, they do not.
