Reassigning the Text property of an empty PdfLoadedTextBoxField leads to a Text value of 1234567890

Hi!

If I load the PDF document from the attached sample with empty textbox fields and just assign to all 

the already existing fields the same value again, then all fields are populated by a string which is looking like test data (1234567890) afterwards. 

foreach (PdfLoadedTextBoxField field in pdfFormFields.OfType<PdfLoadedTextBoxField>())
{
   field.Text = field.Text;
}

This did not happen with older versions of Syncfusion like 18.4.0.43.

Please check my attached sample...

Some info about why I do that:

After filling some fields I have to call pdfForm.SetDefaultAppearance(false) so that all fields are directly visible in Acrobat Reader (see https://help.syncfusion.com/file-formats/pdf/working-with-forms#set-appearance-to-the-pdf-form-fields). But that helps only for the fields I set a value beforehand. So I just assign the current value  for all available fields before I call pdfForm.SetDefaultAppearance(false).

Thanks in advance!
