Some text is invisiable in webpage saved to PDF

Question

# Plugin version
FireShot Pro for chrome v.1.11.25(64-bit)

# OS typer and version
Windows 11 Pro 22H2
22621.1265
Windows Feature Experience Pack 1000.22638.1000.0

# Version of browser
Microsoft Edge 110.0.1587.57 Stable (64 bit)

# Steps to reproduce the bug

0. Before capturing please ensure that Fireshot PDF header option is on.

1. Try capturing webpage with the link below
https://writings.stephenwolfram.com/2023/02/what-is-chatgpt-doing-and-why-does-it-work/

Capturing scope
Upper left corner: just above text "Contents" which is just under the webpage header
Lower right corner: the end of the main article

2. Check the captured PDF
In the first section "It’s Just Adding One Word at a Time", third paragraph that begins with "So lets say", some text of the last sentence is invisiable and selectable. In my case it's "a ranked list of words that might follow, together with “probabilities”:".

Accepted Answer

Hello. Thank you for your report. I can clearly see the problem is caused by the script that changes the page's layout while FireShot scrolls it. Can you please try the following tweak: Open Console (Ctrl + Shift + J) and execute the following code: window.addEventListener('scroll', e => { e.stopImmediatePropagation(); }, true); You may now close the console and try capturing this page and saving to PDF: https://getfireshot.com/downloads/FireShot Capture 012 - What Is ChatGPT Doing … and Why Does It Work_—Stephen Wolfram Writing_ - writings.stephenwolfram.com.pdf

Answer

Yes, it works for all websites changing their layout while being scrolled. I wouldn't like to include this tweak as a checkbox in Options - though this looks useful, not many people would understand the purpose of it and use it properly. As instead, I'm thinking about automatic detection of such cases and applying the fix on the fly (but still don't have a good solution).
