Installed the experimental evince. No change in behaviour.

Installed the experimental libpoppler-glib8 and I can now edit a field, or
at least enter some text. Whatever was there before remains on screen,
clicking back in the field shows the text I entered. Saving and reloading
the PDF has blank fields displayed, but they contain the correct text upon
trying to edit one?

e.g. opened:

Click in field and change to 'test':

Press enter:

Save as a new pdf and reopen:
[image: image.png]

Click into the field:
[image: image.png]

Very odd.
