Description

When printing header and page number, the precalculated page count uses a wrong number of lines per page. Apparently, the number of available lines is reduced just by 1 for the header line, but it should be reduced by 2 for header plus an empty line.

With a short text you get a wrong page count by careful construction (see Steps), but with longer texts the probability increases. I did not try printing a number of pages which exceeded the number of lines per page, but I guess that this could even result in "Page 101 of 99".

Steps to Reproduce:

1. Print more than 1 page of any Delphi code with print option [ ] Header/page number *unmarked*.
2. Count number of lines per page.
3. Select exactly one line less than this number.
4. Print selected lines with print option [v] Header/page number *marked*
5. Sneer at header "Page 2 of 1".
