I don't know how many people are at your workplace, but that's still an anecdotal impression and a personal impression by you rather than a proper study. At any rate, it has been recognized that when making a selection, there is a reasonable expectation by many to have the selection be what is acted upon, e.g. printed. See bug 54908. The question is how to reasonably satisfy both people who want to print the whole document regardless of the selection and those who only want the selection. 2. No, your colleagues would not just "copy-paste", because the result of copy-pasting is different from the original, as styles differ, plus, the contents gets pasted elsewhere on the page than where it was originally. > The problem will be hard to deal with due to software making phantom > selections on its own at the end of many operations, like in case of bug > 156399 after using replace all functionality. Interesting... perhaps, orthogonally to the different suggested solutions, we should differentiate between behavior on an automatic and a manual selection? I wonder. > A fast fix of defaulting to printing whole document regardless of selection > seems the fastest and easiest solution. It may be the fastest and easiest, but it's not satisfactory to a non-trivial set of users. Please consider the solutions suggested in comment 10. Are none of them acceptable to you? If some are, indicate which of them you prefer (and strongly oppose). -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.
