Print dialog freezes when activated from a floated window

[JamieT]

Make a document, do a new view of it and pull that tab away to make it float. Now go to print. It either freezes here, or freezes when you change printer.

I can't duplicate this on macOS either so there are probably some other conditions needed to duplicate it.

Sorry, was in a rush, added platform, version etc.

Screenshot shows where it freezes once pressing Cmd-P. Reproducible every single time. Only when trying to print from the floated window.

I can't reproduce this but I found a bug that is probably related. This thread should probably be moved to the bugs forum.

1. Start Publisher
2. Create document A
3. Choose Print and cancel - works fine
4. Create document B
5. Choose Print and cancel - works fine
6. Float document B
7. Choose Print and cancel - the dialog reappears and you have to cancel again
8. Close document B
9. Create document C
10. Choose Print and cancel - works fine
11. Float document C
12. Choose Print and cancel - the dialog reappears and you have to cancel again and then the dialog reappears again and you have to cancel again

Hi @JamieT,

I've not been able to replicate the freeze when calling the print window from a floating document but i have replicated the bug @MikeTOfound and have just logged that with the Dev team.

@JamieT, which version of MacOS are you using?
