We have tested the scenario and have managed to reproduce the same issue at our side. For the sake of correction, we have logged this problem in our issue tracking system as WORDSNET-19456. You will be notified via this forum thread once this issue is resolved.
We apologize for your inconvenience.
Please note that your expected result is not correct. MS Word and Aspose.Words apply before text (\b) and following text (\f) switches before result formatting. So, the output of the { MERGEFIELD TestDate \b “before " \f " after” @ “MMM. d, yyyy” } field is “Nov. 20, 2019”, not “before Nov. 20, 2019 after”.
The issues you have found earlier (filed as WORDSNET-19456) have been fixed in this Aspose.Words for .NET 19.12 update and this Aspose.Words for Java 19.12 update.
