Hi All
I recently tried to open an application form (docx) and within the
fields, the form has grey boxes, typing in to these you just get black
text on the grey background. It is difficult to remove these grey boxes.
or type without this issue coming up.
I would assume this is not meant to happen.
I have attached a screenshot to illustrate the issue, I decided to ask
here, to see if anyone else could have a go and see if they get the same
problem, then we can perhaps report it if it is due to a problem in
LibreOffice.
I get this in both 6.x and 7.0 as both are installed (the latter is in a
Snap package under Debian)
https://eatthatfrog.ac.uk/vacancies-2/
For reporting, for some strange reason, they have two e-mail addresses
for vacancies / Human resources, I sent an e-mail to hr@ the other day
and have just resent to recruitment@ no idea why there is two.
So perhaps send to both using cc,
[email protected]

Also included the link below to the UK guidance on file formats, they
need to have their forms interoperable properly
https://www.gov.uk/guidance/using-open-document-formats-odf-in-your-organisation
I did ask them if this was the expected behaviour of the from, in my 2nd
e-mail today I also suggested that if this is a problem I can look in to
reporting the issue.
To me, this is about open standards and having forms / document that
just work, so everyone has a chance to apply properly without this extra
aggravation. We won't achieve that unless we start to raise these issues.
Anyway, a good chance to wish everyone a Merry Christmas, and thanks
if you can have a go with this please,
Regards
Paul Sutton
