Research direction

Start by opening the attached Cookie Order Form.pdf and Test.pdf in Xreader 2.8.3 on Mint 20.1 and reproduce the radio-button and combobox problems. Trace the PDF form handling from that reproduction; done means radio buttons are selectable and form controls, including comboboxes, render at the expected size.

Description

 * Xreader version: 2.8.3
 * Distribution - Mint 20.1

Issue
When opening a pdf document with a form made in LibreOffice, you can't select any radio buttons and also they and forms in general look a bit weird, with comboboxes being the wrong size for example, as seen here:

These are both of the documents I've tried:
Cookie Order Form.pdf
Test.pdf

Steps to reproduce

  • Open the test documents in Xreader

Expected behaviour

  • The radio buttons can be selected
