WI 2016 Tax Form

Wisconsin 2016 tax form (fill in) won't fill in lines 14 & 39.
Works on Windows 7 Adobe Reader, but fails on all Linux PDF Viewers.
Form is attached.
Please advise gh4wi@mail.com

Confirmed with the current okular git master, and poppler 0.48 from Debian Testing.

Also confirmed with Atril (the Mate viewer), so supposedly it is a poppler issue.

Incidentally, just opening and closing the document in okular gives me console error messages:

~/tmp> okular 2016-Form1f.pdf 
evaluate() threw an exception
[unrelated stuff]
LEAK: 94 KJS::Node
~/tmp>

I don't know whether that is related, though.

Those fields are auto updating, i did some coding and it's "kind of working" but still needs work https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fCLFkpaW3Ug

Thanks for the testing info & the GitHub Link.

Will this be fixed ?

regards, Gary H.
