All autopkgtests for the newly accepted poppler (22.02.0-2ubuntu0.4) for jammy have finished running. The following regressions have been reported in tests triggered by the package:

[ Test Plan ] 1. Download the attached 230-muster-01.pdf. 2. Try to input to any of the main content fields starting with 06-09 ("Anrede des Zahlungspflichtigen etc"). 3. Observe that it does not work. 4. Install the updated poppler package versions 5. Try the same fields and see they're functoning properly now with visible text. 6. Test also that the fields like "Aktenzeichen", "TL-Nr." or "Buchungsstelle" that weren't broken, continue to work. [ Where problems could occur ] It is a merged upstream fix to Annot.cc file that fixed two upstream bugs https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/poppler/poppler/-/issues/1189 and https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/poppler/poppler/-/issues/1267. There are no indications of upstream regressions caused by this fix, and it was released in upstream stable release 22.08.0 (Ubuntu 22.04 LTS has version based on 22.02.0). However, since it's an individual cherry-pick there could always be a PDF somewhere having issues with this, so it's useful to let it be tested with various files in addition to the problematic ones. --- original report --- Evince on Ubuntu 22.04 is not able to handle some PDF forms correctly anymore that it was able to handle on Ubuntu 21.10 and on Ubuntu 20.04. The symptom is that one can edit the form content and also save it, but that the entered text is only visible when the form field is focused and in edit mode. Otherwise the text it is invisible, also on printouts. Such bugs have been reported against Evince for a long time (e.g., https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/poppler/+bug/265033) but I am reporting this as a new bug because for the current form with which I am experiencing this it is a regression. I have attached the problematic form with two form fields filled out, one in the upper left corner and the big one in the lower half. I have produced this by taking the original, empty form (produced by somebody else) and first opened it in Evince 41.4, which I have installed from the snap package (revision 1017) on Ubuntu 22.04. I entered text in the upper left field and saved the form. Then I opened the PDF in Evince 42.3 from the apt package of Ubuntu 22.04 and entered text in the big field and saved the form. Evince 3.36 on Ubuntu 20.04 has the same (correct) behavior as Evince 41.4. When I open the PDF again, only the text in the first field is visible. The text in the second field is visible only if I click into the field. The visibility of the field contents is the same for Evince 41.4 (snap), Evince 42.3 (apt), and Okular 20.12.3 (snap). So it seems that the problem is with Evince 42.3 incorrectly saving the field content, not with displaying it. Firefox shows and prints the content of both fields, though. Note that I cannot switch back to Evince 41 because for some other forms that I have the exact same problem happens only with the old version and the new version fixes it. So it seems that something changed that fixed it for some forms and broke it for others.
