Clicking first option line from printing dialog in editor menu will open printer options in background from gui
Description
If you have more than one printer assigned in windows, the printing dialog at the file menu in greenshot is having a bad behavior..
You open the drop down menu 'file'. With mouse-over you go to the field in 3rd line 'send to printer'. Short time later the right menu will expand and show all defined printers.
The problem is, when you click in the left part (shown in attachment as number 1) of the line 'send to printer', then the printer dialog will appear (shown as number 2) in the background of the greenshot gui. The major problem is then, that the greenshot gui itself is inaccessible until the printer dialog in the background is closed. To close the printer dialog it is often necessary to move the windows with its title line away from its position - you remember, greenshot gui is in front of the other dialog.
The bug is not new, it is in all versions I know.
Environment
Win7SP1x64 Enterprise, .NET 4.6.2

Hi Andreas,
I agree that this behavior is far from ideal. Unfortunately we still didn't have the time for a deeper investigation, I am sorry about that. As you might have noticed, we have loads of open tickets, and there's only three of us, whoe are sacrificing some of their spare time for Greenshot, so it often takes quite some time... sorry.
Best regards, Jens

Hello dear great greenshot team,
