SUMMARY
***
Attached PDF file has some fields that don't work in Okular form-filling.
***

In section 1, Social Security number gets stuck after first 3 digits.  Format should be nnn-nn-nnnn.  Field ends up with "nnn--" in it, I think.

Some check-mark fields got un-checked or didn't print, maybe after a subordinate field was filled in.  I'm not quite sure which did this.  Maybe first check-box in section 4: "One-time-payment".  Check the box, then check the next box next to the dollar sign, then enter a number such as 1000.  Then I think when printing, the first check-mark is gone.  Not sure of the exact steps, sorry.

Similar happened to 3rd check-box in section 5, I think.  Check the box, fill in an account number (8 digits), then on printing the check-box is un-checked.

I seem to be able to enter the Social Security just fine https://i.imgur.com/NiJ6yYd.png

Please spend more time and give us a better bug report.

Please try typing "123-" into Social Security Number field.

For check-marks problem: open document, show forms, check box 1B "Normal Distribution–Roth IRAs", then check box subordinate to that one, "This is a Qualified Distribution".  Save document.  Open document again, look at those two check-boxes.  Box 1B "Normal Distribution–Roth IRAs" will be un-checked.

Ah yes, don't write the - it gets written automatically for you :) But yes, that needs fixing

Can not reproduce

Wait, why is this bug being CC'ed to 11 people, did you add all those?
Comment 6 Bill Dietrich 2022-05-16 07:59:00 UTC
I used "Clone this bug" from another bug to create this one.  I think maybe I should stop using that feature, it doesn't do what I expect.  Please clean up anything that shouldn't be there.
