Additional information.

Ctrl-F9 does not show field codes for Input Field variables created with a Text
or User variable

Systematic procedure to see problem.

1.  Create (and insert) a variable with Text format.
2.  Create (and insert) a variable with General Format and alphabetic value 
(e.g., abcd) (I know.  But this is to illustrate a point.) 
3.  Create a User Field, with General Format and alphabetic value.
4.  Insert three input fields, one with each variable.

Actual Result:  
 - Text format variable is displayed 
 - General format variable displays (little) grey box
 - User Field (with General format) shows alphabetic value
 - Input field with Text and User displays text
 - Input field with General displays (little) grey box.

Part II.

Create and insert a User Field (with no value).
Note that a grey box is shown.

Part III.

View > Field Names (Ctrl+F9)

Actual Result:
 - Input field with Text and User variables do not show field names
 - All other fields display their contents (including the alphabetic values for
the General Format variable)

Observations.
1.  Even though the input field with a General variable and the empty User
Field does not show anything, the field itself is still shown with a grey box.
2.  Similarly, Ctrl-F9 shows the codes for the General variable Input field
box, but no field name codes are shown for the input boxes with Text and User
variables.
3.  As noted before, if you remove the contents (value) of the Text format or
User format variables, then the Input box becomes invisible, unless you move
the cursor until you "notice" that have have entered the field again. 

Retested with LO 6.3.4.2  and same results with:

Version: 6.5.0.0.alpha0+ (x64)
Build ID: 444f0d256957544d26b9af9a0898364e829df1b
CPU threads: 8; OS: Windows 10.0 Build 18363; UI render: GL; VCL: win;
