Protype bug?

Not sure if this is a bug or not:

- Insert a new Protype event
- Drop a Popup Collection on the timeline.
- Change the font size of the first character from 2.5 to 5 (5 what? I don't know)
- Exit protype and verify that it looks good on the timeline.
- Copy and paste (as a new copy) this event.
- Open the copy in the protype editor.
- Highlight the first character and change it

You've now lost the entire popup effect. If you change any of the other characters, it works correctly.

Is this operator error or a bug? I want the first letter of the title to be bigger than the rest, I have about 50 of these, so it would be nice to be able to copy/paste and then edit, instead of having to make them all from scratch.

you forgot to exit the text editor. Very important. ESC key or maroon escape bar at top of title tool.

I wish it were that, but I did exit the text editor. When I delete the first character Protype shades all of the lines below the Line:popup gray. Then when I exit the text editor, it deletes everything.

apparenly, and many thanks to edward @ jetdv, you need to select (change) preset text by double clicking it to edit and then selecting all by END then SHFT+HOME. had the same problem, again, thanks to edward, now works fine for me...
