Calculate field -Fields to sum won't check

Hi,

I'm having trouble getting Adobe Acrobat X Pro (10.1.16) to calculate a field.

The fields I'd like to sum are all formatted as numbers (dollars), yet when I set up the "total" field to auto-calculate all of the others, I cannot click the check box next to the fields I want to sum. "select all" selects all, "deselect all" deselects all, yet when I click on the individual checkboxes next to the field titles, nothing happens. Double clicking doesn't work. Saving, closing, reopening doesn't work.

Am I doing something wrong or is this a bug?

It's a bug. Use the space-bar or click a bit off to the center of the check-boxes to tick them.

yes! Thank you! I toggled down the list with the arrow keys and used space bar to tick the box.
