This is a limitation in the text handling. Nothing you can do about it other than split the layer into multiple ones...

Using AE CS3 I have a 1000x1000 comp that holds a paragraph text box of the same size. I have tried 2 methods to fill the box with text.
 
1) Hard code the text by typing/copy/pasting over and over until the box is full
2) Using the #include expression I found on Harry Frank's tutorial
 
Both methods work to a point. About 3/4 full the text box disappears and all the contents of it too. Only the anchor point is visible on the stage. Double clicking the timeline layer will reveal the bounding box again but it still appears empty, as if populated by phantom characters. They are there, you just cannot see them. 
 
The same situation is brought about by increasing the font size. With the text box filled to 3/4 capacity I can increase the font size 1px at a time until it reaches a limit where it will again disappear. It's not an overflow problem as the box is nowhere near being full to overflow.
 
I booted up an old version of AE7 and was able to fill a 1000x1000 text box, even beyond overflow (the overflowed characters just disappeared but the rest of the text remained visible).
 
Is this a bug in CS3, a limitation of the text tool? OR could my instal have gotten borked. Or is there one of those mythical hidden settings we all hope flipping a switch on that will cure our ills?
 
I do hope I dont have to reinstall, not right now anyway. But I need some help as I'm stuck.
 
Here is a link to download the TXT file and the AE file I'm using. *Bare in mind the expression calls the absolute path to the TXT file so it wont work with your set up.
 
 
thanks as always
