Description J.F.Lanting CLA 2021-08-29 03:33:45 EDT 
print selection starts at the correct line but prints the entire source down.
Running 4.21M3 without any plug-in's on Catalina.

B.t.w.: I tried 4.21RC1 and it did not print at all ......
;JOOP!
Comment 1 J.F.Lanting CLA 2021-08-29 03:34:37 EDT 
P.S.: all other applications (e.g. LibreOffice) print well.
;JOOP!
Comment 2 J.F.Lanting CLA 2021-08-29 05:50:04 EDT 
In addition: something disturbing:

I did several print attempts from several machines in the network and found
that selection prints may hang at random for a long time, while 'all'-prints
pass them by and are printed completely.

Further, I found that and old bug, # 566780, "unable to print a single page"
was never repaired although somebody found the error in the source code.
Probably these cases are related.

For the time being: printing selections and single pages must be done
by copy and paste to LibreOffice writer. Certainly not the intention
of the ECLIPSE crew.
;JOOP!

Installed ECLIPSE 4.21RC1a :: no selection printing at all!
The print queue shows the status: Incoming till you cancel the print.
;JOOP!
Comment 4 J.F.Lanting CLA 2021-09-02 15:55:41 EDT 
... even printing as *.pdf does not work: it produces files that neither Preview
nor other utilities can read.
;JOOP!
Comment 5 J.F.Lanting CLA 2021-09-07 06:13:55 EDT 
Installed Eclipse 4.21RC2:

- NO selection print (Incoming hang)
- NUL pdf file (same hang?)
;JOOP!
Comment 6 J.F.Lanting CLA 2021-09-10 04:04:46 EDT 
Installed Eclipse 4.21RC2a:
Printing works again, but selection print as before:
everything beyond selection too.

Exactly the same behaviour with print to *.pdf and to Preview.
But at least it prints again; call it progress ....
;JOOP!
Comment 7 J.F.Lanting CLA 2021-11-04 13:40:04 EDT 
Installed 4.22M1: does NOT print selections at all ......
;JOOP!
Comment 8 J.F.Lanting CLA 2021-11-13 11:38:10 EST 
Installed 4.22M3 : no selective printing, no sending to Preview, no saving as PDF.

Well, ....
;JOOP!
Comment 9 J.F.Lanting CLA 2021-11-22 04:37:52 EST 
4.22RC1 ....... still the same.

Could someone spend some minutes on this bug?
;JOOP!
Comment 10 J.F.Lanting CLA 2021-11-28 00:27:33 EST

Eclipse 4.22 : as before, the print queue may hang for years ......
;JOOP!
Comment 12 J.F.Lanting CLA 2022-01-08 02:57:04 EST 
Eclipse 4.23M1: as before, print queue hangs.

Happy New Year, I suppose.
