Bug Description

Binary package hint: evince

Evince Document Viewer 2.22.2
Ubuntu 8.04

Downloaded form 1040.pdf from IRS.gov. Filled in fields, When you move to the next field, contents of previous fields become invisible and do not print on hard copy or preview. If you go back to earlier field, data is still there and becomes visible.

I tried the same test in Win XP - form fields function correctly.

Could this be a font color issue?

I've downloaded the pdf and what i get here is: if i enter some text into the fields and move to another one, i cannot see the text i previously entered, but if i return to that field the text is shown because its get highlighted, do you get the same behavior?
