Problems with multiple multiline text fields?

[kellym37146294]

Hello,

I have a 3 page fillable form with multiple text fields that needs to be accessed and used via a browser (in my case, I'm using Chrome, but I've tried in other browsers).  These text fields need to be multiline text fields for answering questions.  However, when trying to fill in the form, I am unable to initially fill in the text fields on the first page of the form.  I receive multiple cursor lines for each field I try to fill and nothing is populated when I type.

If I go to the second page, the fields populate when I start to type.  Only when I have typed in all text fields on the second page will the first page allow me to populate the text fields.

This issue goes away if these text fields are not selected to be multiline, but they need to be.

Anyone have an idea of what the issue may be?

Thank you

Does it work correctly in Acrobat or Reader?

Hello, yes it works if it is open in Acrobat.  In Chrome browser, the problem is as described above.  If opened in firefox, the form fields won't populate at all.

Both of these browsers use their own PDF plugins instead of the Adobe one, and they are both known to have various issues, especially when it comes to form fields. Report this issue to the developers of these plugins. We can't help you with this issue.
