.doc form cannot be filled in Writer

[Sergio Gelato]

1) lsb_release -rd
Description: Ubuntu 13.04
Release: 13.04

2) apt-cache policy libreoffice-writer
libreoffice-writer:
  Installed: 1:4.0.2-0ubuntu1
  Candidate: 1:4.0.2-0ubuntu1
  Version table:
 *** 1:4.0.2-0ubuntu1 0
        500 http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ raring/main i386 Packages
        100 /var/lib/dpkg/status

3) What is expected to happen via a terminal:
cd ~/Desktop && wget -c https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/libreoffice/+bug/1146905/+attachment/3687930/+files/SU%25209031.doc -O example.doc && lowriter --nologo example.doc

is one may input characters into the fields, as one may do in Microsoft Office Professional Plus 2010 Word Version 14.0.6023.1000 (32-bit).

4) What happens instead is the form is read-only.

First reproduce in:
LibreOffice 3.5.7.2 Build ID: 350m1(Build:2)
Ubuntu Precise

OpenOffice 3.2 in Lucid lets me type a few characters into the first form field, then exactly two characters into the second field before telling me that the form cannot be filled.

Reproduced in upstream 3.6.5 on Windows. Upstream bug reports 35159 and 37375 are both possible matches, but since they aren't marked as duplicates I'm not sure which one to link my report to.

Sergio Gelato, thank you for taking the time to report this bug and helping to make Ubuntu better. The issue you are reporting is an upstream one. It would be nice if somebody having it could send the bug to the developers of the software by following the instructions verbatim at http://wiki.documentfoundation.org/BugReport . If you have done so, please tell us the number of the upstream bug (or the link), so we can add a bugwatch that will inform us about the status. Thanks in advance.
