Public bug reported:

Upstream bug: https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=20009

This bug has been reported in evince at
http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=564153 and
https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/evince/+bug/265033 but it is believed
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/poppler/Annot.cc

I have, BTW, confirmed the bug with poppler version 0.10.3 and evince
2.24.1
