Bug ID: 55211 Summary: Print file not truncated when printing to file in FrameMaker 8 Product: Wine Version: 8.12 Hardware: x86 OS: Linux Status: UNCONFIRMED Severity: normal Priority: P2 Component: spooler Assignee: wine-bugs@winehq.org Reporter: ulrich.gemkow@ikr.uni-stuttgart.de Distribution: ---
A existing print file ist not truncated when printing to the same file again. So when printing a smaller document to the print file which was generated for a larger file, the resultung file contains garbage at its end.
This happens in Framemaker 8 and may happen in other apps too.
To reproduce
- Install Framemaker from the given URL
- Print the attached Document Large.fm to a file (select print to file in the printer dialog). Check the size of the generated file.
- Print the attached Document Small.fm to the same file generated in the previous step. Check again the size of the file - its the same.
Depending on the used Postscript interpreter reading the file fails because of the garbage at the files end.
This is simple to see when using different documents as descibed above. When printing existing documents again after (even small) changes the resulting print file may be garbage without notice.
