Form with two data fields set with identical properties, one does not word wrap?

Question

We have a business form that is generated in SAP, and this form has worked as expected until recently. The form was developed in-house and has not been modified since 2024. Multi-line is set in both text fields, but the bottom-most text field no longer wraps text. We believe this may have resulted when our Adobe Reader app was patched. The odd thing is that opening the PDF in either Edge or Chrome and editing it there *does* work properly, but does not work in Adobe Reader version 2026.001.2691 (64bit). Even more peculiar, we have a colleague with Adobe Reader version 2026.001.21662 (64bit) and the word wrap behaves as expected.

It sounds like a version-specific Adobe Reader issue. Since the form works in browsers and an older Reader version, I'd test the latest update or temporarily roll back to confirm. If it persists, report it to Adobe with a sample PDF.
