When I try to print selected text ("Print Selection Only"), the top half of the first line of the first page is chopped off. Then the last line is chopped in half (top half on the bottom of page 1, bottom half on top of page 2). This occurs on all subsequent pages.

I have a very similar problem on the same versions of Firefox and OS X as the OP.

For me, the cutoff problem occurs on the top and bottom of ALL pages intermittently, depending on the line spacing of the current selection (or so I assume).

Using FF 10.0.2 --Printing selection works fine in internet explorer, but I have the same problem as noted above. Please help--nothing seems to fix this. Thank YOU.
