Print preview and print is garbled

Hi! I’m the Asana engineer who worked on this issue.

It’s a pretty weird bug. What I found was that Chrome, on MacOS Catalina, would produce this garbled text if (a) the text was styled with system fonts and (b) anywhere on the page there existed some text from (a) that had font-style: italic.

All of those conditions were required to trigger the issue. Our workaround was to …remove some italics we were always displaying in our print view. (Yeah, not great.)

The hope with this workaround is that Chrome will fix this issue soon, because this is a bug in Chrome. You can see the active issue here: 1018581 - chromium - An open-source project to help move the web forward. - Monorail
