Description

When opening a TPrintDialog the combobox always shows the default printer first. No matter what PrinterIndex is set, it always shows the default printer. I always have to re-select the actual printer. This is starting to get a major annoyance. It worked perfectly in Delphi 2006. I googled the internet a little and it seems that this problem was already reported to the support in November 2008. That's as long as I'm trying to fix this problem. Now I'm sure that it is a Delphi bug.

Steps to Reproduce:

When opening a TPrintDialog the combobox always shows the default printer first. No matter what PrinterIndex is set, it always shows the default printer in the combobox. I always have to re-select the actual printer in the dialog. TPrintDialog then returns the selected printer. But I can't tell TPrintDialog to pre-select a printer with a prior call to PrinterIndex. This worked perfectly in Delphi 2006.
