Kendy, thanks for the fix, as I already pointed out in our discussion on the libreoffice-ux-advice list. But, Jonathan, I doubt that we'll please all parties - especially with regard to printing. Printing whole documents (which can be much larger than web pages) is about time and costs - accidentally printing 200 pages is a mess, especially since average users are unable to stop printing either in the OS or on a printer (anybody tried this on a MFP?). Earlier you proposed to show a warning - and Kendy said these aren't read. Well, I think it is about balance between "information" and "bothering". There are also other circumstances where hints would be beneficial. When I've worked out the today's printing dialog, I created a proposal how to solve such "in-dialog message needs".
