FULL PRODUCT VERSION :

Java(TM) SE Runtime Environment (build 1.8.0_162-ea-b03)
Java HotSpot(TM) Client VM (build 25.162-b03, mixed mode, sharing)

I original discovered this in a much earlier release.

ADDITIONAL OS VERSION INFORMATION :

Microsoft Windows [Version 10.0.15063]

A DESCRIPTION OF THE PROBLEM :
The test program is a bit more intricate than a normal but report would be, since it has a more complete test case. However, a very quick way to reproduce this is to:
- Open the application
- Set your printer
- (I use the “Microsoft XPS Document Writer” to save paper, and because I can set the margins to zero)
- Click on the “Direct” checkbox.
- Click the “Print” button
- Set your margins to zero all around
 
What you will get is two blank pages. Set your margins up a bit, and you will get 1 page. Setting the margins to zero is a reliable way to reproduce this, but it happens sporadically with different values as well. I have been unable to find a pattern or a workaround.

This may seem like a corner case, but since I need to control the print, I hit it a lot. This spill over to another page when the printable area and the content area sizes are the same is a big issue for me.
 
I have SVG files that are more interesting than these, but with these we can tell that it is not the SVG that is causing the problem. J
 
The difference between the two SVG files are the units the bounding box is specified in. One is in points and the other in pixels. Both will have a “value”, which is in pixels, and a “valueInSpecifiedUnits”, which is the specified value.
 
Here are the properties of “document.getElementsByTagName('svg')[0].width.baseVal”. I got these from another test program I have which allows me to run JavaScript directly on the running webview to get information like this. (Very handy.)
 
unitType:: 5
value:: 612
valueInSpecifiedUnits:: 612
valueAsString:: 612px


STEPS TO FOLLOW TO REPRODUCE THE PROBLEM :
- Open the application
- Set your printer
- (I use the “Microsoft XPS Document Writer” to save paper, and because I can set the margins to zero)
- Click on the “Direct” checkbox.
- Click the “Print” button
- Set your margins to zero all around

EXPECTED VERSUS ACTUAL BEHAVIOR :
EXPECTED -
No blank pages.
ACTUAL -
Blank pages, depending upon the settings.

REPRODUCIBILITY :
This bug can be reproduced often.
