Hello everybody!
(This post was co-authored by Tim Kurkoski (After Effects Product Owner), Andrew Cheyne (After Effects Engineering Manager), and Victoria Nece (After Effects Product Manager).)
This thread has been sitting here for quite a while without a response. To start, we want to apologize for that. We haven’t been ignoring you or your feedback – this is just a particularly complex topic. That said, it’s time for us to check in with you, clarify a few things, and give you an idea of what we’re looking at for the future of After Effects, especially when it comes to performance.
To start, we fully understand that you want After Effects to be as fast as it can be – utilizing your computer’s hardware resources to render as fast as possible. Over the last several years, we have been working on the performance of After Effects constantly. Sometimes those performance gains…

Totally agree as well! At the moment for several reasons I have to work in a comp with 150+ layers, changing the timing is a real pain. I am also very interested in a workaround, if there is one.

Thanks for having a look at it. The last version it worked was 2017. It is easy to replicate:
- Create a comp, create a text with a certain font, let's say Arial
- Duplicate the layer two times
- Change the font in the third text, let's say Times
- Now select the first two text layers, which still have Arial and watch the character tab: It says Times now, even though both are Arial. In 2017 it would say Arial.
Sometimes the bug has further problems, that the character tab does not update after changing a font for multiple layers.Bob Weber

I am surprised that this is not voted higher already, quite annoying bug and, as usual, takes Adobe years to fix... It is still broken in 2020 (17.0.0 Build 557).

Yes, that would be very handy e.g. when animating with several masks and the stroke effect. Of course a workaround would be to have one stroke effect for every shape and then animating either start or end, but this can get quite tedious if there are lots of lines to be drawn...
