Maruan Sahyoun commented on PDFBOX-5878:
----------------------------------------
it's not weird per se it's only weird here as there are multiple occurences
within a fields appearance stream for the value and other stuff where there
should be only one. But we can look at changing that maybe for 4.0 to create
from scratch (which is more in line with what Adobe does but normally according
to the Spec onyl with some field settings which do not apply here).
