Description

This regression was introduced in Tails 3.3 when that imports Tor Browser 7.0.10-build2.

When printing to file it looks like it succeeds (dialog’s progress goes to 100%, no errors are shown) but the file is not created, and I can see this written to the journal:

Dec 08 13:49:50 amnesia firefox[12397]: /build/glib2.0-2.50.3/./gobject/gsignal.c:3492: signal name 'selection_changed' is invalid for instance '0x7dd7c1dc2740' of type 'MaiAtkType319'


Note:

  • the above journal error is not emitted when printing in Tor Browser in Tails 3.2,
  • but it is also emitted in Tails 3.3 when printing with a real printer too, and that works

Looks like Bug #13403 but worse. I think this is well tracked upstream already but I’ll double check.

So, this works fine with Tor Browser 7.5, except that the default directory that is selected is tor-browser (which presumably is the executable’s directory, i.e. /usr/local/lib/tor-browser). I set a pref (print.print_to_filename) to make ~/Tor Browser the default directory.
