Old way:

  1. Select some page content
  2. Alt > File > Print... >
  3. Check "Selection" in Page Range > Print

New Print Dialog:

  1. Select some page content
  2. Alt > File > Print... >
    --- In this time, the preview shown is completely useless.
  3. Print using the system dialog >
  4. Check "Selection" in Page Range > Print >
  5. Click on [Cancel] button

Actual Results:
It needs extra steps.
The New preview is totally useless in this case. Users will be confused.

Expected Results:
Interaction with users should be simplified as much as possible.
Such a confusing UI should be avoided.

Suggestion:
The "Selection" option should be provided in the New Print Preview itself.
If the "Selection" option is chosen, the preview should be redrawn according to the printing range.

OR
Leave the menu File > Print so that system dialog will popup

I don't think we need this separate from bug 140718. I've just retitled that bug.
