Default Trouble in Word Forms when mixing native and activeX controls

Hi



I'm trying to design a form using different kind of controls, like simple text fields (these directly present in the developer tab) and some activeX controls like option buttons.



Here my simple form in example :



Once "restrict Editing" is set to "Filling in forms" only, i've got a strange behavior :
you're able to modify all the text fields, until you click an option buton, and then the text fields will become unchangeable

Please have a look at the video a made here
Sorry, word is in french but you'll understand my problem

Or just play with my word file, see attached.

I managed to get the textbox editable again by pressing SHIFT+TAB to higlight the textbox. Looks like a "focus" problem.

I must say that if I deactivate the editing restriction, it is working fine that way.

If you have an idea, I looked through different forums but couldn't find anything that explains this behavior.

Thanks
Rod
