Arthur T Knackerbracket has found the following story:

Microsoft's Edge browser is the subject of an amusing new bug report, alleging it somehow manages to screw up printing strings of numbers.

The report on Microsoft's developer portal describes the issue where PDF files printed through Edge will display numbers and text incorrectly when exported.

"Edge displays PDF correctly but printed content differs notably," the bug notice reads. "Printed content depends on selected printer, on printer settings, and on used computer (please try a different setup if first result looks correct)."

[...] In the meantime, it might be a good idea to use another application to export your PDFs, especially if you're filling out an expense report or making math assignment.

    Would be interesting bug to exploit: Send lengthy contract with one number and check, how many people will sign the printed version without re-checking the number ;-)

    How about airline boarding passes, bet those work great with the numbers shuffled.
