ProtectedSource content is not printed

[anonymous]

ProtectedSource content is displayed correctly on preview but it is not printed. Both in IE6/7 and Firefox 1.x/2.x.

Can't say if this is a bug or a feature but, reading the documentation, I was expecting it to be printed.

Ok, I confirm it when using the "Print" button in the editor toolbar. But now we need to really think if it is a bug or now.

The main question here is: Should the Print button print the contents exactly like the user is seeing in the editing area, or like he preview? Wouldn't some users be surprised that things that are not in the editor magically appear when printing? What about the WYSIWYG thing?

I'm not sure about the expected behavior. I would vote to not change the current behavior for now, as the preview window can still be used for printing, and discuss it further.

I think that if something isn't visible while editing and the user press the print button there, the user don't expect to get printed something that wasn't visible. Also, taking into account that the protected source can be code to be processed at the server there's no sure way to get the protected source printed in the right way doing it just from the editor.

I also vote for leaving it as is.
