Description

For a few days, the Sidebar link "Printable version" can't display its page anymore, because a new JavaScript event asks to the navigator to print the page instead. In ready.js:

		$( '#t-print a' ).click( function ( e ) {
			window.print();
			e.preventDefault();
		} );

With Chrome it's not a problem because the print preview is displayed next to the printer choice.

Example:

Would it be possible to rollback this event please?

Please provide reasons why the new behavior is a problem. What is the use case behind this request?

We should probably change "Printable version" to "Print this page" but apart from that I don't see any obvious issue here. Yet.

I can see one: the link behind "Printable version" is the printable page (https://...&printable=yes) but with Firefox we can never reach it.

I don't have any US apart from my previous UX.

The new behaviour is intentional. We are phasing out the printable mode. Background is available in T24256.
