## New Issues

These are items that have been added to the Known Issues page since the last milestone (SeaMonkey 1.0 Beta), although the bugs themselves may have existed previously.

General

- (Windows) If you print across a network to a windows share printer and then delete it from your list of available printers, prints will still go to it until you select another printer from the print dialog box. (bug 323781)
- (Windows, Linux) If you have multiple printers, preferences from an incorrect printer may be used. (bug 324072)
- Print preview may behave incorrectly if you change the scaling or page orientation (bug 311028)
- Attempting to compose, forward, or reply to a message may result in a non-functional compose window. To work around it, open a new compose window, close the new window and then close the non-functional one. If you try again, it will work. (bug 307672).
- SeaMonkey 1.0 does not contain the latest version of ChatZilla. The most recent release can be found here.
