Digits Man issue

I have the latest update for AE CS3 and when I get to a certain amount of text in the text box, it all disappears in the preview window.
If I lower the size of the text, it comes back. Even though it doesn't fill the text box.
It's not a "sluggish issue" with a slow PC because I walked away for a half hour and make lunch, cleaned my office and it still didn't show up. Changing the text size down by two pixels brought it back. It never seems to let me get past 2/3 of the preview window being filled.
I even tried lower it & adding more, lowering it & adding more, lowering it & adding more, and then growing it, but as soon as I do the text disappears again.

Thanks! I was doing the project as hd1080. As soon as I reduced the size of the project to hd720 I was able to fill the text area.
As long as I have your attention for a sec... :)
In Digits Man you have a little story video with a space scene and sun. I am extremely curious as to how you did the space scene with "depth" on the stars as you rotated the camera. Also, that's the best looking AE sun I've seen so far. Any chance of doing a tutorial on space, sun and planets?

The sun is an Artbeats footage, the stars are made inside AE and the animation for the most part is based on Expressions. You can learn the basics of it by looking at the Expression project example which is available via the file menu under "Browse Template projects..."
