Yes, this is reproducible.  I have had it happen on multiple computers
using different versions of Ubuntu.

Go to the following IRS website and do a search/find for a IRS form 1040
(or any other IRS form as far as that is concerned) and then tried to
fill out the name, address, social security information, etc., etc. and
you will see that after you have typed your name in the name field and
then when you go to the next field (and you should be able to go to the
next field by using the TAB key - but you can't, you have to use the
mouse to click on the next field to the filled out, that's problem # 1),
the information that you just typed in the name field just disappears,
that's problem# 2.

And NO, I can not send you an example of this problem because of what I
just mentioned above, when you attempt to fill in the fields on the form
and go to the next field the the previous field information is lost.  I
suppose that I could attempt to save a blank IRS 1040 form (with perhaps
1 field filled in, at best), but I really can not see any real benefit
in doing that.  The best way for you to see what the PROBLEMS with this
document viewer (Evince) is to go to the IRS website for yourself and
attempt to fill out on of the forms and it will be very obvious to you
what the problems are.  As a test of how this should work, get on a M/S
windows machine that has the Adobe Acrobat reader document viewer
program installed on it and then go to the IRS website and attempt to
fill out the form 1040 and you will see how it is SUPPOSED to work.
