Belatedly we have found a kind of regression in main-stabweek-2024-Jul.  There
is a POLA breaking behavior change in the new version of bsddialog(1).  The
change is clearly documented in the original commit message:

commit ce220b82ad546d3518a805750e5ee6add73f1fbf
Author: Alfonso Siciliano <alf.siciliano@gmail.com>
Date:   Sat May 25 02:42:46 2024 +0200

    change: --form and --mixedgauge do not print field input to output if <fieldlen> <= 0


That means if you have any scripting using 'bsddialog --form' with readonly
values, you would need to adjust your scripts, otherwise your variables would
be messed up, leading to any possible kind of bugs.
