Can't print "selection"

When I have any type of file open in Firefox, and I highlight text on the page that I want to print, then click "Print" and select the radial button for "selection," it prints a blank page.

IE works fine, but I don't like certain other features of IE, or I'd just switch.

This is spreading...it used to only happen on one workstation that I rarely used. Now it's happening on the one I use most.

This bug -- which affected text inside a table in the page -- was mostly fixed in Firefox 12, but some lingering issues have been reported.

If it's still a big issue for you, to focus more developer attention on the problem, consider registering on the bug site and "vote" for the bug to be fixed. Please avoid adding any comments, however, since that gets sent to all previous voters and all the developers on the bug. "Bug spam" can slow progress toward a solution.
