Form Fields do not Accept Typed-in Content

I am using the PDF-XChange Viewer Portable to fill in a PDF (with no security restrictions) that has form fields. When I try to type content into certain fields that have drop-down lists, the field will not accept typed-in content. (Just for contrast, Adobe Reader *does* allow content to be typed into such fields, and I do need that functionality.) Is this a flaw in the software, is there a setting I need to change, or some sort of workaround?

Thanks!

Hi,

can you post an example (Zipped) please ?

Certainly. The fields that are particularly problematic are the Contracts fields, the Merits fields, and the Kith fields.

Thanks - we will investigate and would hope to resolve in Build 37 which we are beta testing over the next few days ready for release soon.

Just an update: I have downloaded Build 37 to test it, and the behavior remains the same.

Thanks for your attention!
