Description

What happened?

When the user has selected text my app asks him wether to print only the selection.
Setting ShouldPrintSelectionOnly to True in the print options has no effect for PrintToPdfStreamAsync

When using ShowPrintUI and let the user check the box for printing only the selection it works fine. However this is no feasable workaround for me, the printing needs to be done silently in the background

Importance

Moderate. My app's user experience is affected, but still usable.
