CubeIDE unable to print selected text on Windows 11

On Windows 11, the  CubeIDE print dialog no longer provides an option to print only the selected text. Is there any way to restore this option?

I found a solution -- replace the totally worthless new Win11 print dialog with the legacy Win10 version, and the "Print Selection" option returns!

In Registry Editor (regedit.exe), browse to the following branch:

HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Print\UnifiedPrintDialog:

Create a new REG_DWORD value named PreferLegacyPrintDialog

Set PreferLegacyPrintDialog data to 1.

Exit the Registry Editor.

Might well be an Eclipse thing?

As a workaround, if you copy the selection & paste into Word it will retain the monospaced font and syntax highlighting; eg,

This has the advantage of giving you much better control over pagination, etc ...

Excellent!

I'll have to give that a go!

Please mark that as the solution so that others will find it.
