Description Lucas Gass 2019-11-18 17:07:39 UTC
In Chrome if you try to print a public list from the OPAC the new tab is immediately closed by Chrome.

TO TEST:
-set up a new public list with a few items
-go to the OPAC and view that list.
-Click 'Print List' in Chrome.
-The tab opens but immediately closes itself.
Comment 1 Jonathan Druart 2019-11-19 08:29:29 UTC
Which versions?
Looks ok for me on Chrome 60.0.3112.113 and Chromium 73.0.3683.75
Comment 2 Katrin Fischer 2019-11-19 09:12:29 UTC
Could this be related to the behavior fixed by bug 23680?

I've tested too, but couldn't reproduce the problem:

Google Chrome
Version 70.0.3538.77 (Official Build) (64-bit)
in Ubuntu
Comment 3 Katrin Fischer 2019-11-19 09:16:01 UTC
I think the print code was changed at some point - which version are you looking at? I tested on master.
Comment 4 Lucas Gass 2019-11-19 17:26:10 UTC
This is happening to me on master in Chrome 78.0.3904.97
Comment 5 Liz Rea 2019-11-19 17:31:43 UTC
Same results for me - go to print, window opens and immediately closes.
Comment 6 Lucas Gass 2019-11-19 22:57:43 UTC
I think this is because the setTimeout() is too quick for Chrome. (1ms)

967     [% IF print %]
968         window.print();
969         setTimeout('window.close()', 1);
970     [% END %]

-Apply patch and try again   
-Now you can print!

Comment 9 Jonathan Druart 2019-11-20 08:21:46 UTC
Hi Lucas, Stackoverflow suggests to close the window after it has been print, ie. it takes back the focus. The solution sounds quite good to me.

Could you try it?

Jonathan,

Yes this seems better to me and works perfect. Obsoleted my patch and SO'd on yours. Thanks so much.
Comment 12 Marcel de Rooy 2019-11-21 07:07:28 UTC
If you cancel the print action, the extra tab is not closed in Firefox. In that sense increasing the timeout worked better.

It works for me, could you retry?

Retried although nothing changed. And still does not close the additional tab in FF when canceling the print dialog. If I confirm printing, it does close.

Which versions of Firefox are you using?

So, interestingly, or not, it did work on Firefox 70.0.1 but not on chromium.

This patch makes the use of the onafterprint event which sounds definitely the correct way. This one works with chromium and Firefox.
Comment 20 Jonathan Druart 2019-11-21 15:38:29 UTC
Not with Chrome...

It says from Chrome 63, so I think it's the way to go.
Comment 22 Marcel de Rooy 2019-11-22 08:06:10 UTC
Does not work fine with Chrome 62 too.
Also a problem with Edge.
Firefox seems to work.

Easier to increase the timeout?
Comment 23 Jonathan Druart 2019-11-22 09:07:32 UTC
Waiting for 1 second before closing the window? Looks very ugly to me.

Let's do both then...

(In reply to Jonathan Druart from comment #25)

Seems to work in a quick test.
Firefox, Chrome and Edge.
Edge ask for permission to close the tab.

Maybe change 1000 to 500 or even less? 100 works with me on Chrome
Comment 27 Gabriel DeCarufel 2020-01-07 18:38:51 UTC
printing a public list from the OPAC in chrome now works with this patch.
Comment 28 Guillaume Paquet 2020-01-07 18:47:40 UTC
The patch was tested on Chrome 79 and worked properly.
