Description Tiffany Antopolski 2010-10-06 09:34:01 UTC 
More specifically, when filling an interactive form, if the <enter> key is not pressed after a given input has been typed into a field, the input still appears to have been entered. It is expected that when you go to save a copy or print to a file, that all inputs get saved/printed. However,  if you proceed to Save a Copy or Print to file, that last field remains empty (the field in which the <enter> key was not pressed after the input was typed).

Since I am proceeding to print to a file or save a copy of the form, the expected behaviour is that all fields which have been filled should be saved/printed.  

As I am using Evince to fill interactive forms, I am finding that it is the very last field for which I enter an input where I neglect to actually hit the <enter> key, and therefore that  field remains empty when I save/print.  I don't always notice right away, so  it is very  inconvenient to have to go back and fix later on.

This is not a poppler bug, it's evince, please forward it to the gnome bugzilla. Thanks for reporting.
