Print marking, but printing without marking required

[PeterMaria]

Description of the Issue

Print selected text, but printing without marking required

Steps to Reproduce the Issue

1. Settings Preferences: ON: Print line numbers, SET: WYSIWIG
2. Use any text file
3. Select any text part
4. Print with option selected text

Expected Behavior

The printout should always be WYSIWYG.
But if you only want to print the selected text, which happens very often, it made no sense to print the mark. This disturbs enormously.
If the printout is limited to the mark, do not print the mark as a background.

Printing the marker can be done when the whole text is printed. However, this is not desired by all users. Therefore possibly more settings to this topic.

Actual Behavior

Printing the selected text leads to a printout, which also contains the marking. Gray background.

@PeterMaria
By "mark" or "marking" are you by chance rereferring to "selected text"?
Please attempt to use correct terminology for best response to your report.

I can confirm that when text is selected, and you print the selected text (radio button "Selection" is automatically chosen), then the text is printed with a gray background. This can make the text very hard to read.

When radio button "Selection" is chosen, it also seems completely unnecessary. Only the selected text will be printed, anyway. It doesn't need to be distinguished, on the printout, from any unselected text.

I have observed this since at least v8.4.2, under Windows 10.

Thank you. I had not yet scrolled down that far in the Issues list.

This development build may resolve the issue with the unexpected gray background: https://ci.appveyor.com/project/donho/notepad-plus-plus/builds/44597613/job/9mii1ux7a1w0w0ht/artifacts

Thanks! I’ve run one test so far, and it seems to have solved that problem. The printout is clear of any background color. Phil Colbert Director of Technology InjAnnuity, Inc.
