Hi, I have a text animating in via the range selector on opacity property. It's linked to expressions on a null layer, which also link to expressions in another comp.

Problem1: Every time I change the text, disappears from the preview after it animates in. I have to clear disk cache to see it. This happens every time I change the text.

Problem 2: Trying to change the expressions crashes AE. Only thing I can do is delete them and start over.

Here is the AE file: https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/ ... xUoNXwD4lU

Here's another problem.

I have expressions linking to each other as in the screenshot below.

B gets value from the text layer's width. D takes B and A and should spit out a value between .2 and .5 depending on the text layer's width. I use this value to determine the speed of the text range animation in E. However, D randomly switches between the correct value and lowest value when I scrub through the timelime. When I remake from scratch, it doesn't do this. But when I duplicate this comp to make other versions, the problem comes back. Also happens when I change the text some times.
