'w16sdtdh' is an undeclared prefix

Hi,

After opening and saving this document to stream with aspose (22.1) we get the following exception when we reopen it: System.Xml.XmlException: ‘w16sdtdh’ is an undeclared prefix.

The scenario is where we used Builder.InsertDocument to insert a document with a content control.
How can I Solve/Repair the namespace ?

Code:

var ms = new MemoryStream(Resources.Example);
var document1 = new Document(ms);

var result = new MemoryStream();
document1.Save(result, SaveFormat.Docx);

// System.Xml.XmlException: 'w16sdtdh' is an undeclared prefix.
var document2 = new Document(result);

@fhellemond I cannot reproduce the problem with the latest 22.2 version of Aspose.Words. It seems the issue was resolved by WORDSNET-23287 fix.
Please try using the latest 22.2. version of Aspose.Words and let me know if the problem is still there on your side.

Dear,

I have upgrade the version to (22.2), but we still experience error’s related with this namespace. I Include a Example Project that reproduces the error. After upgrading to the new version there is a different behavior and it looks better, yet now a similar error occurs later in the process.

Could you please explain what the problem is or current limitation without risking these exceptions?
