Thanks for your inquiry. We have tested the scenario using the latest version of Aspose.Words for Java 19.1 and have not found the shared issue. So, please use Aspose.Words for Java 19.1.

Hi Tahir,

Thanks for your quick response.
I have upgraded to 19.1 and indeed the problem, in the isolated test case is gone.
I now have to test how 19.1 behaves in the our integrated product.

Many thanks

Patrick
