.docx file with Content Control

This issue was first brought up by Timur Sattarov on Dec 1, 2015, but then deemed a duplicate of bug 50097:

When reading docx file that contains Word Content Controls, MS Word shows "data from databinding", but Libreoffice shows only the placeholder text.

Note: This is NOT a duplicate of bug 50097 as this issue is about the wrong text being displayed when a .docx file is opened in Writer. Instead of resolving the XML file and displaying the text from the XML file (like Word 2016 does), Write just displays the placeholder text.
