As it is written above, stealing somebody's ideas is a plagiarism, too, and have no excuse.

I would do the following.

1. Write an editorial board, show them your case and ask them to withdraw the paper or the plagiator.
2. If this fails, write to the publisher stating editorial board of their editorial ignores you about the plagiarism case.
3. If this does not work, go to court against the publisher. Try to highlight your case in press and social networks as widely as possible.

I strongly believe that this should be well enough, no serious publisher would like to have reputation spots like this.

I should add, that people behave like this in science mainly in societies where such a behaviour - to steal smth from smb who is weaker than you - is generally common (like in Russia).

Particularly, I had own case like you described, but was lucky - the paper written after reading my mscr by a reviewer came, vice versa, to me for revision. So I wrote the editor about the situation providing proofs. The plagiator is now likely in black list of several large international publishers, as published 0 papers in international journals after this. But I also saw examples when older academics ruined the careers of younger colleagues by stealing their results. You should never go to peace agreements with such people, they must meet the resistance and must be punished for what they do. Their normal business is either to steal as much as the victim allows by its own silence or to persuade the victim to pass his results by own will.

Make you voice loud and do not feel ashamed about making problems for careers of plagiators/ do not afraid to conflict with them! People behaving like this do not understand good will, but they respect only strength.
