<pre>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
<a href="https://books.libreoffice.org/en/WG71/WG7118-Forms.html#toc24">https://books.libreoffice.org/en/WG71/WG7118-Forms.html#toc24</a>
[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 <a class="bz_bug_link
bz_status_UNCONFIRMED "
title="UNCONFIRMED - Writer form fields are not accessible using only the keyboard [accessibility]"

Probably, that bug needs to be looked into before this bug (85339) can be
tested again in read-only mode.</pre>
