Attila

Found, why print in Safari (Mac) may not display the document, it seems a bit of wait can cure it. (not made PR yet) Looks like the print dialog is browser dialog (not implemented in collabora), and safari’s dialog is not that tolerant as Chrome or Firefox version. It does not wait for the rendered image (or something like that), and if it not arrive in time it will not render it… and it will not update it later if it arrive later. Also found that the rendered image displayed in an other place (bottom right corner) .. even thougth it was hidden .. but looks like Safari does not handle that… added a “display : none” that made it disappear.

Backported a few commits to an old branch.. and had to fight a bit to make the CI green.
