Bug Description

This concerns evince 3.6.1-1ubuntu3 in Ubuntu raring.

I have a PDF form in which a couple of fields are multi-option drop-down widgets, e.g.

Title:
    [ Select one ]
    Mr.
    Ms.
    Mrs.

The field is initially set to "[ Select one ]", and I am supposed to select one of the options. I do this, and save a copy of the PDF.

When I open the newly-filled PDF file, most of the fields have my information in them, but the drop-downs have reverted to the "[ Select one ]" state.
