IMPORTANT BUG FOUND - print selection not working for your theme or cornerstone

Support
#1

Hi,
I just found a bug within your theme or cornerstone.
the bug is also on all your demo sites at theme.co
and thousands of websites using theme.co :wink:
not only my sites.

if you select a text on a website, and click “print”
the text is “#fff” :wink: hehehehe resulting in a blank page :wink:
everything works normally if you print the entire page.
but if you select just some text, then this bug occurrs.

this also happens if the site is using Woocommerce ,
when site owner gets a “New order email” and tries to select a text from that email to print,
the text is “#fff” and will print a blank page :wink:
hehehehe.
I tried searching google for this, and it seems like nobody has found this bug except me.

hmm…
looks like this is not related to your theme…

#4

looks like this is a chromium bug

#5

very strange… this is not happening on all websites…
just some…
its happening inside gmail
but not on stackoverflow website :wink:
hahah

firefox is working normally

we have debugged this issue on chromium browsers that if you delete certain css bootstrap’s from the header, then everything will go back to normal.

so this looks to be related that if you include certain css codes in your css file, then chromium browsers will not print selected texts…

going to check now , what code it is :wink:

Hi @Baroninn,

Glad that you are able to find the exact reason behind your issue.

Thanks

We have found the issue
.someITEM {
overflow: hidden;
}
this will cause chromium to not print selected text :wink:
hopefully they will fix it soon.
