Hidden fields keep appearing when changing viewmodus

I got a problem with a interactive pdf I have made. It has a 'hide-fields' option active while opening the document. With one of the buttons in the document, I can make the fields visible again. Sofar so good. And it works great.... Unless I change the viewmodes. When I go to full-screen and back, the fields get active/visible even when they are supposed to be invisible. How can I prevent the fields from appearing while changing view-modus?

Thanks beforehand for the answer!

It's hard to say without seeing how the document is set up. If you're able to post it somewhere, we can take a look.

Thanks for your earlier respons. Sorry that I couldnt answer earlier too it. I can understand that you need the document to see the problem....However i can't place the original yet cause of concept issues. So I made a fast dummy pdf with the same problem.

You can find the dummy pdf here:

The problem occurs if you download the pdf, open it (accept the full view option if it asks you too), click the "toon document" (means view document) and then click esc on the keyboard to exit the fullview modus.

The View layers gets reset but the view fields doesnt, showing the textfields unwanted (or hiding the layers unwanted...eighter way).

I hope you can see my problem and know a solution.

Thanks again!

It seems that pressing Esc to exit the Full Screen mode resets the layers to the initial view setting.

I'm not sure if this is a feature or a bug... You can report it here, at any rate: Feature Request/Bug Report Form

I don't currently see a way around this issue, as entering and existing the FS mode doesn't trigger any events that can be used to show/hide the fields (or the layers).

The only option I can think of is to use an infinite loop to check if FS is enabled. If it's not, then hide all the fields and revert back to the original layers state.
