I have ran into a problem with Foxit when using fill in forms. In particular, when the fill in form has a "calculation" field. For example, field #1 is a number entry, field #2 is a number entry, and field #3 adds fields #1 and #2.

When I fill out the fill in form online (using IE), field #3 works (will add field #1 and #2) as long as field #3 is highlighted. But when highlight another field, the data in field #3 disappears from the screen and on printouts.

Some Notes:
1) If I use Firefox and Foxit, field #3 of the online fill in form behaves normal.
2) If I use IE or Firefox and Adobe reader, field #3 of the online fill in form behaves normal.
3) If I save the pdf fill in form locally and use Foxit, field #3 behaves normal.

Is this a bug in Foxit or IE?

If I use IE and Foxit and open an online PDF fill in form, I get the behavior described above. If click on a link (or open a different web page) and then press the BACK button, the fill in form behaves normal. If I close the browser and reopen to the fill in form, same behavior.

Is this some kind of "caching" issue?
