I am creating a document using check boxes and pull down lists.

1) If I check the boxes using the "lock", then unlock, all the checkmarks
disappear!
2) I must lock (then unlock) the document to get the pull-down list.

The only way I have found to get around this is to double-click on the boxes
to check them instead of locking.

Am I missing something here, or is this just totally ridiculous?

If you are using dropdown form fields from the Forms toolbar, then they
should be enabled only when you protect the document.
