XD to after effects text import as separated text boxes instead of a single one

I've been having this problem these past few months when exporting text from XD to AE.

Text boxes began to import as separated boxes with 1 character, 2, 3... instead of a single text box.

At first I thought it was because of a specific typeface but it happens with every typeface i have. I also tried changing the "text box type" in XD but it doesn't make any difference.

I didn't have this issue before, one day it didn't work properly anymore and it's getting annoying to enter the text from scratch in AE.

Hope it's easier than it seems to fix it! thank you in advance
