Note that this is not the same as bug 43350, as it applies to all form elements,
not just text fields.

Say, Matthew -- this works for me with the 20001030am branch builds on
mac/linux/win32 --- radio/checkbox/text/textarea/select all come back to
the values/state to which they had been changed before the skin switch.
Works for you, too?

The page is also reloaded from the web server when I switch themes. Is that a
different bug?

The reload is intentional, since the current document is (I believe) torn down
in the process of the skin switch. Depending on cache settings (modulo cache
bugs) then this would likely cause an HTTP GET, but under the same conditions
as going Back to a previous URL, including a form page. [Of course, that is
just what I believe, and I could be completely on crack].
By the way, mpt -- when I looked at this on 11/01, this "Form fields" bug was
working correctly -- the form fields state is preserved during a skin switch;
the fields are not reset. And you?
when the skin is switched.

Hmm. I nominate myself worst QA ever.
Yeah, this works for me also. It has for awhile. I thought hyatt's state and
preservation fix (which included the current webpage hack) fixed this awhile
back.
Pretriage of skinnability bugs, marking fixed, this looks like it still works.
