Public bug reported: The new printing UI (since Version 3.1?) has the annoying feature, that it selects the whole page range by default when switching from the "All pages" radiobutton to the "Pages" radio button.
This is highly nonsense. If we are in a multiple pages document, and I want to print all of them, I don't switch the radio button and just go with "All pages". _If_ I switch the radiobutton to "Pages" then I have a reason not to print the whole range. Thus the earlier behaviour, namly selecting and showing by default only the current page, does make sense, since this is the most common case. It takes you one more click/tip on the keyboard to choose the right page number. And if for some reason, you cannot see which page you wanted to print (Status bar gone, small screen, etc), you will even have to type more than one. The only reason I can see is to hint new users how to use the selection in the interface. That's not worth it, I think. Thus this bug report.
