Hi, I get a different layout between design & blueprint view when I wrote "Ants stretch.."and set it to 24sp, why?

Hi, I get a different layout between design & blueprint view when I wrote "Ants stretch.."and set it to 24sp.

When I set it to 24sp, the blueprint text size become way bigger (as if it was set to 70sp) but not on the design view. Is this a bug that I should ignore? any idea how to fix this?

The same thing has happened to me. I don't think it is an error because when I run my program on Android studio, the text is formatted to the screen at 24sp.
