            Bug ID: 436990
           Summary: Interactive PDF Forms with field validation cannot be
                    filled due to repeating error window
           Product: okular
           Version: unspecified
          Platform: Microsoft Windows
                OS: Microsoft Windows
            Status: REPORTED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: NOR
         Component: general
          Assignee: okular-devel at kde.org
          Reporter: reilithion+kdebugs at gmail.com
  Target Milestone: ---

Created attachment 138371
  --> https://bugs.kde.org/attachment.cgi?id=138371&action=edit
An affected PDF. Select the SID field (top right) to trigger the bug.

SUMMARY
At least one example of a PDF with interactive forms is impossible to fill out
with Okular. When a field with validation is selected, an error message is
displayed explaining that the field is required and must have a certain format.
When "Ok" is pressed, the message is immediately displayed again. When the
close button on the message window is pressed, the message is immediately
displayed again. Many clicks on the close button in rapid succession eventually
causes the error window to not immediately be displayed again, until the field
is selected again. The main window cannot be interacted with while the error
window exists.

STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Open a PDF with affected interactive forms using Okular
2. Select an affected field (one that has validation that brings up an error
window)

OBSERVED RESULT
Error window immediately displayed, and is impossible to dismiss or ignore in
order to fill out the field.

EXPECTED RESULT
Field can be edited, or a less obtrusive error is shown that does not interfere
with editing the field.
