Im using the current daily build 2014.2123 although this issue seems to happen on the last few versions of daily build.
Ive poked around the forums and google but cant find any reference to this issue other than the nexted text limit with masking on http://docs.coronalabs.com/api/library/display/newText.html
On Android device (havent tested iOS yet) no text shows but the text shows in sim, tested on Nexus 7, Evo 3D and bluestacks. Havent had this issue before and its not a problem if the height is set or is set to a number its fine (although its not how i want it displayed) however if its set to autoheight (aka 0) then you get the issue of nothing showing.
