            Bug ID: 132091
           Summary: DOCX formtext content is lost after filling
           Product: LibreOffice
           Version: 6.4.0.0.alpha0+
          Hardware: All
                OS: All
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: medium
         Component: Writer
          Assignee: libreoffice-bugs at lists.freedesktop.org
          Reporter: vasily.melenchuk at cib.de

Description:
A document containing filling form (FORMTEXT) in some cases can lose content
after filling.

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Open attached document (test.docx)
2. Double click form value (text "ASDF") to select it all. Important step, if
previous content is removed in a different way bug can not appear.
3. Enter new text value. Previous will be removed/owerwritten.
4. Save and reopen document.

Actual Results:
FORMTEXT value is not displayed.

Expected Results:
User should see same text he enters on step 3.


Reproducible: Always


User Profile Reset: No



Additional Info:
As far as I found during look into document structure, result is actually
written into resulting DOCX, but for unknown to me reasons it is written
*before* field separator.

So instead 
- fldChar begin
- FORMTEXT
- fldChar separate
- ASDF
- fldChar end

we have in this scenario:
- fldChar begin
- FORMTEXT
- ASDF
- fldChar separate
- fldChar end
