Cluster constant appears empty in printout

[Jeroen_Oortwijn]

I'm using Labview 8.2 and I have to print a large block-diagram which has several cluster constants in it. The problem I encountered is that only the contents of the cluster constants that are visible on screen are also visible on the printout. This bug can't be reproduced in Labview 6.

Steps to reproduce (see zip-files for pictures):

1) create an cluster constant and fill it with constants

2) let it be fully visible in the block diagram window (Bug in Labview 8.2 - fully - screen.png)

3) print out the block diagram to html

4) observe that all the contents of the cluster are visible (Bug in Labview 8.2 - fully - output.png)

5) drag (with the scroll tool) the block diagram so that only a quarter of the cluster is visible in the block diagram window (Bug in Labview 8.2 - partly - screen.png)

6) print out the block diagram to html

7) observe that only the contents of the cluster that were visible in the window are also visible on the picture of the block diagram (Bug in Labview 8.2 - partly - output.png)

Is this a known bug?

And is there a workaround for this problem? (Other than making a screenshot of every cluster constant and combining that with the whole image.)

This might be somewhat related to the bug discussed a while ago in the following thread:

Still, you might want to report it to NI.

Thanks for your reply. January I will try the workaround suggested there.

I have further investigated this and also found that the navigation window doesn't show the off-screen contents of a cluster constant (see screenshot).

Unfortunately the workaround suggested there didn't work, so I had to make a screenshot of every cluster constant and combine these with the whole image.
