            Bug ID: 434639
           Summary: PDF form bug: dropdown stays empty in okular
           Product: okular
           Version: 1.11.2
          Platform: Other
                OS: Linux
            Status: REPORTED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: NOR

          Assignee: okular-devel at kde.org

  Target Milestone: ---

Created attachment 136858
  --> https://bugs.kde.org/attachment.cgi?id=136858&action=edit
the problematic form with the supposedly-not-empty dropdowns

SUMMARY
The PDF form in the attachment contains several dropdowns with options to be
selected. Unfortunately, no dropdown entries are displayed and thus cannot be
selected.
According to the metadata, the PDF has been created from Office 365 so I cannot
guarantee it to be fully standard conformant. Put pdf.js in Forefox 86.01 for
example manages to display the dropdown options and makes them selectable.

1. Open "problematic_form.pdf" from attachments in okular
2. Click "show forms" button
3. try to select on of the dropdown options, e.g "Degree programme"

OBSERVED RESULT
No dropdown options are displayed (see screenshot)

EXPECTED RESULT
dropdown options shall be displayed and selectable

SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS
Linux: NixOS 21.05pre275822.916ee862e87  
KDE Frameworks Version: 5.73.0
Qt Version: 5.15.2
