--- Comment #34 from Christophe Strobbe <c_strobbe-fdo at yahoo.co.uk> ---
While I can confirm that the issue still exists in LibreOffice 7.1.3.2 (on
OpenSUSE Leap 15.2), I would like to point out that the file attachment does
not demonstrate how forms are intended to be filled in. As the LibreOffice
Writer Guide points out at
https://books.libreoffice.org/en/WG71/WG7118-Forms.html#toc24 

[begin quote]
If you plan to send this [form] out to other people to complete, you probably
want to make the document read-only so that users would be able to fill in the
form but not make any other changes to the document.

To make the document read-only, select File > Properties, select the Security
tab and enable Open file read-only.
[end quote]

A similar feature exists in Microsoft Word ("Restrict Editing", so the form can
only be filled in, not modified).

However, when a Writer form is saved in read-only mode and re-opened, the form
fields are not keyboard accessible, as I have reported in bug 143818:
https://bugs.documentfoundation.org/show_bug.cgi?id=143818

With the document in read-only mode, once you use the mouse to put the cursor
into the first text field, you can cycle through all the form fields except the
radio buttons (just as in unprotected mode).
