Description Will Thompson 2008-09-23 08:29:57 UTC 
Please describe the problem:
When I print (or print preview) a page from Epiphany, the header and footer are not (page name, url) and page number or similar, but are instead random high-codepoint garbage.

Steps to reproduce:
1. Open a web page.
2. Hit Print.
3. Give the resulting page to a contractor.



Actual results:
I look surprised when I notice that the header and footer are a bunch of idiographs rather than anything legible.

Expected results:
Fewer surprises.

Does this happen every time?
Yes; it is reproducible on others’ machines, but with different garbage for the same page.  This suggests to me that it’s using the contents of uninitialized memory.
