That worked, thanks Jeff.
I think you found a bug.
I duplicated the top group and moved it to the left and the craziest thing happened. Every thing returned back to normal. Even if I disable the group I just created everything writes on. I did a Save As on the project and closed it out, and then re-opened it and it still works like it should. I have no idea as to why the lines stopped animating on you. Duplicate the top group and move it to the left of the timeline and see if you get the same results. If you don’t want the group then just hide it. Here is a movie of the final results.
Hope this helps.
