I=E2=80=99m playing round with a project that is based on an= expression and I=E2=80=99m running into lots of cache bugs.  I=E2=80=99= m currently using CC 2017.
I=E2=80=99m just wondering if ot= hers have come across similar problems and if there are any workarounds.

The project I have uses a fairly lengthy expre= ssion which is applied to a text layer.  The expression is also reading= values from a slider.  Other layers are then reading the output text o= f the text layer (ie the expression results) which controls their time-remap= ping values.

It doesn=E2=80=99t take much f= or AE to stop working properly.  I can move sliders around and nothing c= hanges.  I can completely change values and yet the RAM preview will pl= ay the same thing over and over.  I can delete all keyframes, so in the= ory nothing should be moving at all, yet scrubbing in the timeline still sho= ws things moving around.

Basically, what I a= m trying to do is totally breaking AE=E2=80=99s cache system.

While I will report my problems to Adobe and will send th= em a project, I am wondering if there are some simple steps to avoid these i= ssues.
Does anyone know if making layers shy, or setting the= m to guide layers, effects the way the preview system works?  In previo= us versions, enabling motion blur has fixed cache bugs but this doesn=E2=80=99= t seem to be the case here.  I can RAM preview something and set the sa= me thing off as a BG render and get two different results=E2=80=A6
Any suggestions?
