White text on second line for Text box
I have been tasked with taking an existing LiveCycle-built PDF and applying a Russian translation to it. This largely involves copying-pasting the Russian text given to me in relevant places. For one label, the original text fits on a single line. With the Russian translation however, it has to be made into two. Normally this would be no big deal, just expand the height of the label so that the text will have two lines available. Bear in mind that these labels are colored a light grey to differentiate them from the user-entered text fields of my form.
Here's where the strangeness comes in. After increasing the height of the label and pasting the text from MS Word into Livecycle, I get this strange effect where the second line of text is highlighted in white. The first line has no highlight at all.
I've done some experimenting and determined it is not the text itself causing the problem. If I cut half the words out of the label so it's only one line, or only include the second line so it appears at the top of the label box, it will have no highlight. In other words, only text in the second line of the label box will be white, regardless of what that text is. This issue is not limited to just the labels with Russian text, leading me to think it's not something unintentionally migrated over from Word, but something that was already in the LiveCycle form that had gone unnoticed.
Above is what I'm seeing in the Design View, which matches what I'm seeing in the PDF preview. Below is the XML Source code for the topmost cell (I'm working in a table to make spacing easier). I suspect it has something to do with the <span style="background-color:#ffffff"> code, but I'm wary of touching anything in the code lest I ruin a lot more than my limited coding knowledge can handle. I've already tried to do a little bit but the errors that keep popping up tell me I'm better off asking more knowledgeable sorts.
