I’m designing a form for printing and when the body section tab panel list is less than a page long, the trailing grand summary appears directly below the body like one would expect.
The problem is that when the list in the body tab panel is longer than one page, there is extra whitespace added between the body and trailing grand summary.
This is in print preview.
Please see the attachments.
Is this a bug? Should I be posting in the bugs forum instead?
Bug… Hmm. How did you do that? We’d love to have the summary stick to the bottom of the page 
Could you try putting the pricing information in the body section below the tab panel or in the actual tab panel as a footer?
tabpanels are not made for printing!!
You can have all kinds of problems with that. use a list-view instead.
Along those lines when printing listings and using a trailing summary to display the totals, I remember a thread amount creating a trailing footer, or something to that extent. Was this feature ever added?

I’ve changed it to a list view, and updated all the related fields, etc., but now, in print preview, the list isn’t expanding. It only shows the first line.
Any idea why that is happening?
EDIT: I thought it might be that the scrollbars were on, but I have turned them off, and still the same result. If they were on, they would have shown up in the print preview if it was working correctly anyway. Something is not right. The list expands correctly in non-print-preview.
Thanks.

It’s not sticking to the bottom of the page. It was consistantly below the list a certain amount of pixels.

I am guessing is was located consistantly at the bottom of the page because the line items where being viewed through a portal / panel of a form built from the parent record controller

But it wasn’t “sticking” to the bottom of the page, it was always about 310 pixels below the end of the tabpanel list.
Anyone have any idea why my list isn’t expanding in the body during print preview? It’s like I need a printsliding property for the body section.
I found it.
In the onShow method, the controller.showPrintPreview had a first argument option (printCurrentRecordOnly) set to true.
