Bug Description
Upstream bug: https:/
This bug has been reported in evince at
http://
https:/
this is a poppler bug.
Steps to Produce:
1. Use some of the forms from irs.gov, such as the 2008 f1040.pdf that is
attached.
2. Enter data in any field.
3. Press return.
Actual Results:
Data is there until you press return, then it disappears. If you click on
field again, you see the data again until you hit return.
Expected Results:
Data should stay even when field isn't selected.
It's believed this is a poppler bug and not evince, because the following error
appears on stdout just after return is hit:
Error: Unknown font in field's DA string
which appears to come from poppler/
I have, BTW, confirmed the bug with poppler version 0.10.3 and evince 2.24.1

no need to open another report, marking this as dup of bug 265033.
