Word documents in protected view with visible task pane sometimes have their content "dissapear"

Hello,
I have a task pane in office. I have discovered that the following scenario causes strange behavior:

1. Open a protected view doc file.
2. Open a regular file (can be new) while the previous file is open.
3. Close the protected view file.
4. Reopen the file
At this point, the content on the original file cannot be seen until you enable editing or change the view settings in word. I couldn't reproduce this issue with my PowerPoint and Excel task panes.
Additionally, it doesn't happen if when i reopen the file it doesn't show the task pane.

Any ideas what could cause this?

Hi Igor,

Thank you. What type of task panes do you use in your solution? Do you use the ADXWordTaskPanesManager component or TaskPanes property of your add-in module to add a task pane to Word?

Sorry for the late reply,

We use ADXWordTaskPanesManager with a ADXWordTaskPanesCollectionItem added to it, and call ADXWordTaskPanesCollectionItem.CurrentTaskPaneInstance to get the task pane itself

Hello Igor,

It looks like we won't be able to fix it in two weeks. In fact, we don't even have an idea.
