But consistent within LibreOffice.

You also get page 1 to n and you cannot change the page orientation in the
preview.

Yes, PDF export is limited here. And Calc too acc. bug 54908 comment 25.

Thing is, taking the selection into account is a convenience feature. Why do
you select part of the document at all? It's easy to discover for newcomers
(Selection is checked in the print dialog) and very simple to change (just
click another range option). Admittedly, this function is not following the
KISS principle, otherwise we wouldn't discuss it here, but removing it will
make some users unhappy. And once you get familiar you probably wont miss it.

I concur with JBF's NAB.
