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.

This form is password-protected against modification of anything but the fields one is meant to type data into. Filling in the form works in Office 2010. With LibreOffice 3.5.7.2 Build ID: 350m1(Build:2) on Ubuntu precise, I cannot fill in any of the fields. Writer says (in the title bar) that the document is read-only. If I View->Toolbars->Form Design and View->Toolbars->Form Navigation I see that almost all the controls are grayed out; the only two exceptions are Open in Design Mode and Automatic Control Focus, however pressing these doesn't result in any noticeable state change. If I press the "Edit File" button in the Standard toolbar, I get prompted for the document's password (which I don't know). This isn't really a new problem. OpenOffice 3.2 in Ubuntu 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. I'm guessing that the main underlying issue is the same but that another bug (which made OpenOffice 3.2 accept the first few characters of form input) has been fixed. I'm not sure I am at liberty to attach a copy of the .doc file to this document since I don't hold the copyright to it. It can be downloaded from http://formhotel.accessia.se/su/Default.aspx; search for 9031 (other forms on that site may also be affected, I haven't checked) and choose the Word version.
