You may not set New (confirm) yourself. Just wait someone else. But you have rather wrong report. Your screenshot is not with original example. You didn't write if you tried to turn on some form toolbar options. You can also try to reset/delete user profile.
I think you didn't even have a look at the Bug description. The screenshot clearly has all the details mentioned. How does an option setting involve here? I have tried all the possible ways that I can, only after which tried to log a bug to get the experts comment. To my knowledge, Content Controls are not even supported in Libre. You didn't even try to address that too. Atleast take time to load the attached docx file in your Libre Office writer to see whats happening.

Seems resolved. Sdt support is still far beyond perfect, but placeholder and color data is not lost during roundtrip of sample document.
