I moved to a windows 10 computer. Moved all Thunderbird preferences , etc. Everything is working fine except when I print the text is much larger that it was. This happens in Print Preview also. Was fine on my Windows XP machine. I now have to set to 75% to get it to print as before. Shrink to fit seems to be printing at 100%. How do I fix this? Is there some setting so shrink to fit will shrink to put each line on 1 line?

Yes It worked just fine. Problem also exists in Print Preview. And that still works fine on XP but NOT on 10.

Hmm. Thunderbird 45 has been out for many months, and 45.2 out for roughly two months - which is a long time. There are no reported bugs so far from anyone on windows 10. And I'm not having a problem on win7.

https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1272694 is a linux report about print preview, but it doesn't involve shrink to fit.

The next update will hopefully be out in a few weeks. Could you comment here after you've tried to newer version. Or, you're welcome to help us test the next beta.
