Before continuing, please use the search box in the header above to check if someone has already reported it. So far, none of the issues (active, or closed) seem to address the issue.

To help explain the issue, please include the following:

Steps to reproduce the problem:

I monitor changes on an external webpage moderated by InChI trust; if print on paper, this would be multiple pages long. By today (2020-11-10), the scanner reports changes on the very page and highlights them, just as anticipated about the complete page top to bottom. Contrary to anticipation, however, printing this report (including the highlighting marks) into a .pdf stops after the first page. The same is observed using Firefox' print preview, too.

So far, I have to use Firefox's option to click somewhere in the annotated document with the right hand mouse button, to open the menu This Frame -> Save Frame As to write a new .html and to read this intermediate file with Firefox to print the (exhaustive) .pdf including the highlights.

What you expected to happen:

If possible, lift the page constraint. I would welcome one could print the whole annotated .html page into a multipage .pdf directly from the scanner's window.

The attached .zip archive contains screen photo, prints to .pdf and the highlighted .html annotated by the scanner.
