Description Hossein 2023-05-14 13:03:35 UTC

Description:
After saving a content control field combo box to DOCX in LibreOffice, the placeholder text goes away. It will be no longer visible in MS Word after selecting/unselecting the combo box.

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Copy a combo box content control field from a DOCX file to LibreOffice. As a sample, you can go to page 4 of attachment 182846 [details], and copy a content control field combo box.
2. Save it as DOCX.

As a shortcut, you can use attachment 187266 [details] instead of step 1 and 2.

3. Open the file in Microsoft Word.
4. Select and unselect the combo box.

Actual Results:
The placeholder text goes away after select/unselect. This breaks compatibility between LibreOffice and MSO.

Expected Results:
The placeholder text should remain after select/unselect.


Reproducible: Always

Created attachment 187267 [details]
Content control fields created in MS Word

To see the difference, open this attachment in MS Word, and compare it with attachment 187266 [details].
This file is created with the same process in step 1 and 2, but in MS Word.

I can't reproduce with MS Office 365 (online) and:

Version: 24.2.0.0.alpha0+ (X86_64) / LibreOffice Community
Build ID: 5fe2bf914c251009ec4709fa8fdc45c3b53f676b
CPU threads: 8; OS: Linux 5.15; UI render: default; VCL: gtk3
Locale: en-AU (en_AU.UTF-8); UI: en-US
Calc: threaded

Can you still reproduce?
