iProperties failure in Formatted Text

Hello, I am having an issue with formatted text located on a sketch in a flat pattern. The code below is part of a process that adds a text box to a flat pattern. From there it adjust the size of the text according to the flat pattern extents and centers the text on the part. The issue I am experiencing is that in random cases the text that is driven by iProperties fails to show the property value (see below). This also happens when the text size is manually changed. The only way that I could restore the values was to add another iProperty.

Sub MarkText(oFormText, oTextSize)
	'set text for lines 1, 2, 3, 4, & 5
	'Part No
	Dim sTextL1 As String = "<StyleOverride FontSize='" + oTextSize + "'><Property Document='model' FormatID='{32853F0F-3444-11D1-9E93-0060B03C1CA6}' PropertyID='5'>PART NUMBER</Property></StyleOverride><Br/>"

Update: I found by adding the following code at the end of my program the issue is resolved:

oFormText.FormattedText = oFormText.FormattedText
