 * Hello
 * One of my forms seems to have gone crazy. It displays a field that I never entered,
   with the message “Please do not fill in this field. “. In addition, this form
   only (all the others work fine) modifies the structure of the page in the front-
   end. I searched for the explanation without finding anything. Would you be kind
   enough to help me out of trouble?
 * Thanks in advance.
 * The form

 * Hi [@aralar](https://wordpress.org/support/users/aralar/)
 * Sorry to hear you are having this issue.
 * This is an interesting situation.
 * The field that you see is from Honeypot protection, this is a hidden field that
   should catch on bots.
 * But in your case, the CSS that makes the field hide is not being loaded.
 * I did a closer look and found that if we remove the {html-3} field it works, 
   but I tried to copy the content from HTML 3 to a fresh form with pagination but
   I couldn’t replicate the issue.
 * I also found that the problem is not happening when we load the Form from Ajax.
 * Could you please enable the Ajax rendering for now?

 * We escalated this to our developers to verify why it is happening on your form
 * Once hearing back from the developers we will let you know.

 * Hello Patrick
 * Thank you very much for your answer, in the middle of Sunday ! Proverbial quality
   of support from Forminator and WPMU DEV !
 * The problem has just been solved. How ? Before doing the tests you asked me to,
   I reread the content of the {html-3} field. I warned that there are two full 
   stops in two sentences, when I usually don’t put full stops in forms. I removed
   the dots and, by routine, I checked the operation of the form in the page. And
   then, miracle. Everything worked normally.
 * Since it is not forbidden to put trailing dots in {html-3} fields, what can be
   the explanation? For me, mystery… I am amazed.
 * As the situation seemed interesting to you, I detail everything in this message,
   in order to facilitate the verifications of the developers.
 * I am still waiting for your additional information.
 * Thanks again
 * Friendly greetings
 * The new form

 * Hello there [@aralar](https://wordpress.org/support/users/aralar/)
 * Our Second Level Support devs proposed to replace <br /> with <br/> in all HTML
   fields.
 * Could you please give this a try and check if it also resolves this issue?
    You
   can also try that out before removing the dots you mentioned.
 * Let us know how that goes. 🙂
 * Thank you,
    Dimitris

 * Hi Dmitris
 * I’m sorry for the delay in my response. It was impossible for me to do it before.
 * I did the test you asked me to.
 * I added the two trailing dots in the {html-3} field. Nothing is happening. The
   form and the page work normally.
 * I replaced the <br /> tags with <br/>. No effect either. I found that after saving
   and reopening the form, the tags revert to <br />.
 * I don’t know if the problem was fixed by the 1.15.13 update.
 * In any case, the incident is over for me. I consider the support request (very
   well) resolved.
 * I remain at your disposal for any further verification or information.
 * Thanks very much
 * Sincerely
