Problem description:
I tried to create a PDF form, where you enter some text in one text box, and several other text boxes get the same text automatically.

Steps to reproduce:
1. Create empty Writer doc.
2. Insert a text box. Copy and paste it a few times. The copied form elements will all have the same name "text box 1" (or similar, depending on language of installation).
3. Save doc as PDF form (check "allow duplicate field names").
4. Open the form in a PDF reader and fill it out. 
5. Text entered in one text box should be duplicated in all other text boxes, but it doesn't

Current behavior:
Every text box can be filled with unique text.

Expected behavior:
Every text box should display the same text.

Last worked/checked in: 
4.0.1 release
