Exclamation Content Controls: Whole field selecting upon clicking vs only placing cursor inside the field

Hi I am creating content control fields using the document properties.

Running into a problem with the field upon clicking on it, it does not select the whole field. So you have to delete the placeholder text before entering your content. Instead it just places the cursor in the field without removing the placeholder text.

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
