Clicking on Adobe Form Fields does not allow for filling

When using adobe forms (not just the one pictured but the two forms I use regularly) I've been finding that when I click on a field, instead of a cursor appearing and being able to type, instead the form highlights (darker blue) and a small window comes up with "fill in the form fields" greyed out and "request e-signature" as my only option. If I tab back and forth through the fields I can add text normally. This is over multiple forms, and I believe when it started happening it was only happening some of the time, but now happens every time. I have been using both forms for a couple of years, and I had a colleague test the same form out on her computer and it works normally for her. This makes me suspect it is something with my settings, but searching through my settings and the internet have gotten me nowhere. 

The photo included is of the result of left clicking on a field.

This is caused by a bug in the latest version of Acrobat and Reader. We're all waiting for Adobe to solve it...

Im having the same promblem and found that my mouse primary button brings up the grayed out fill in form and the request for e-signatures but if i use my secondary mouse button i can fill in the form just find. It only does it on one of my forms that i have been using for a few years now and just been alerted about it today. dont know if there was a update and something got messed up with the settings but would like this fixed asap or a solutions to do fix it myself.

Has there been any fix to this. I hadn't had this issue until the past 2 weeks. Makes it very hard to do my job not being able to click the fill in blank fields.

I am also having the exact same issue, and as frustrating as it is, I am relieved to see that I am not the only one. Are there any updates from Adobe on a fix for this? We use acrobat for E-signing documents on a regular basis, so this is extremely problematic.
