Default text in PDF form is not overwritten

I have created a fillable form in Writer and exported it to a pdf. The form includes a default text ‘First Name’ in the FName field. When I test the PDF, the letters I type are added to the default text-instead of replacing the default text. What am I doing wrong?
Peace

Please see this question, text box highlighting

You can set tab order by

  1. in design mode, right click a field and select Control Properties
  2. Scroll down to Tab order and click the button at the right
  3. Arrange your controls in the order you want.

When you tab into a field in the pdf it will highlight the default text, first key press will overwrite it.
