Today's Bonkers Bug Report: Microsoft Edge can't Print Numbers

from the PSA dept.

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.

    Yes, MS-DOS v3.3 included most things worthwhile. The rest is just needed for specific issues. Usually harddisk size.

    Usually harddisk size.

    Which was the main reason I upgraded. So I could use the new IDE drives. IIRC, I was limited to those 32MB partitions under DOS 3.3.

    DOS6.22 had Doublespace... which relentlessly caused me far more trouble than it was worth.

      And it caused Microsoft a long legal headache.. because they tried to get away with the tech that Stacker had patented. ;-)

      Nobody will ever need more than 640KB of RAM.
