Second line of text disappears after line break when copying from Premiere

There’s this very specific bug that has been happening to me since the later versions of After Effects 2025 and it’s still present on the latest 2026 release.
I do a lot of transcriptions on Premiere, then convert those to captions, then convert those captions to graphics, and finally copy the graphics layers from Premiere to After Effects. This is a workflow that I’ve been doing for a while without any issues.
These graphic layers are interpreted in After Effects as compositions with text layers inside. And this behavior is still true.
But since later versions of After Effects 2025 (up to the current release of 2026), whenever there’s a line break (only on the first line of text) in this layer that comes from Premiere, the rest of the text just disappears. It’s still selectable and reappears if I remove the line break or convert the text layer from the original paragraph text to point text, but I just preferred if this wouldn’t happen in the first place.
I’m on a 2021 M1 Macbook Pro. I’m currently on the latest release of macOS Tahoe, but it’s been happening since Sequoia.
I attached a file with a bugged text layer so you guys can see it.
Is it something I’m doing or is it really a bug?
Thank you.
