So, Comment 8 in the bug should serve as a code pointer to start the
work.

However, this one is a bit complex, as we would need to move the flags
that tell you which sheets are selected, from ScMarkData to ScDocument
(or most likely ScTable) in order for the mentioned code to access this
information during print preview.

There are lots of places where we query for the selected sheets, so this
transition will not be trivial, to say the least.

Having said that, it is still doable, with enough willingness to hack
and test.

I'd set the target for this bug to 3.5, but I have to admit, bug fixes
for 3.4.x has kept me busy for longer time than I expected, so I can't
guarantee that I get this fixed in time for 3.5.0 release.  Currently I
have 17 bugs with target 3.5.  Right now, there are still several
features I'd like to squeeze into 3.5.  So my plan is to squeeze those
features in first, then start fixing 3.5-targeted bugs.
