When I want to change place holder text, I do so in design mode and start typing in the middle. I type what I want, then delete the unwanted default text.
That is...
[Click here to answer] becomes...
[Click Client Namehere to answer] becomes...
[Client Name]

I tried to delete it and redo it, using the same document property but now the information is now stored and everytime insert it, it reacts the same.
Clicking on the field select the whole field, created using Category (desired result)
Clicking on the field places the cursor in the field, created using Publish date, (undesired result) this content control is recycling what was there previously, in other templates I have created I was able to delete and reinsert and it gave me a fresh control

When you add information to a document property content control of a document (like Publish Date) what you add is stored not just in the content control, but is mapped to that XML part. When you delete the content control, the information is still in the XML part and in the document property. When you reinsert the content control, it references the part and supplies your information. See
Repeating Data Using Document Properties Content Controls and Other Mapped Content Controls
This will not happen with an unmapped content control.
