           Summary: position:fixed elements depend on scrollbar position
                    when printing
           Product: WebKit
           Version: 420+ (nightly)
          Platform: Macintosh
        OS/Version: Mac OS X 10.4
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P2
         Component: Printing
        AssignedTo: webkit-unassigned at opendarwin.org
        ReportedBy: opendarwin at hoepfl.de

I wanted to use a media="print" CSS to position a logo on the left of every
printed page. The code seems correct to me and works fine in Firefox but in
Safari there are two errors:

- The logo does not appear on *every* page. It is printed only once. ("For
paged media, boxes with fixed positions are repeated on every page",
http://www.w3.org/TR/CSS21/visuren.html#fixed-positioning) 

- If the viewport is scrolled when I print the page, the logo is printed at the
wrong position.

Minimized example code:

<html><head><title>Test</title></head><body>
<div style="background-color:#ddd; height:30cm;">Make page big</div>
<div style="position:fixed; top:0px; left:0px;">Should be on the upper left of
all pages!</div>
</body></html>

How to reproduce:

- Save the example code to file.html
- Open file.html in Safari
- Print (Preview)
- Scroll to the end
- Print (Preview)

Expected result:

On screen the text "Should be on the upper left of all pages!" should be fixed
on the upper left corner. When scrolling down the text is still there. This
works fine.

When printed, the text should be on the upper left of *every* page. The text
should *not* move down on the printout regardless where you scrolled to on
screen. Both previews should be equal.
