Default Edit Text Form Field

I am trying to edit a text form field in a form document that has already
been "filled out". When I click the Text Form Field on the toolbar, all the
existing text is removed. I want to edit the existing text, not start from
scratch.

Then _don't_ click the text form field button on the toolbar! Just click inside
the existing text in the form field itself, and start editing.
