Composition markers are now working after AE/OS upgrade (Ventura 13.2)

Hi! I'm having a big problem with markers since I updated my operating system and After Effects.

My goal is to create a composition with animations that are tied to markers and some essential graphics properties, and then use it as a component in a parent composition. I've done this before without any issues.

But now, when I move a marker in the parent composition, it doesn't affect the timing of the marker inside the precomposition.

 

To show you what I mean, I've created a composition with some text that displays the properties of the marker.

 However, when I move the marker, the text doesn't change like it's supposed to. I expect `time` to become 00:00:01:23.

My version of AE and system

Any help would be much appreciated!

I think I'm missing something. The expression generating the text is referencing the markers inside its own precomp. I wouldn't expect moveing markers in the parent comp to have any effect on what's displayed.

In the comp with the expression yes (you mean `essential_raphic_element`, right?)

I am talking about parent comp. It supposed to update marker timings in every instance of child composition on change, but It not (at least on my mac, as you can see on the screenshots)

I don't think I'm seeing what you're seeing. If I move the marker closest to the CTI (in the comp with the expression), the displayed time does update once I release the mouse.
