That would be my expectation as well.

Seems the print selection filter is not correctly handling the Document data
fields--rather than recalculating for just the "print selection", it is
assigning the values from the entire document.

The page count is from Statistics -> Pages field. The page number is from the
Page -> Page numbers--IIUC the page number is a moving pointer to the next page
to be assigned at the end of the source document, so end up the same for the
print selection.

Find that if fields for other document Statistics are included in the
selection--they also are not recalculated to match the selection, and print
with incorrect values. So in addition to Pages, at least Paragraphs, Words, and
Characters are likewise incorrect for the print selection.
