Why is it that in the design view, the left screen (layout preview) and the right screen (blueprint) don't match up?

I was on the step where I added the 2nd "textView", and changed the text to "Ants stretch..."

In the design view, both screens (layout preview and blueprint) matched each other perfectly.

But when i went into the "view all attributes" to change the textSize to: 24sp, the two screens don't match anymore. The left layout preview screen looks how i want it, (it matches how it should look as shown in the video), but the right blueprint screen has the 2nd textView gigantic and doesn't wrap.

My xml code matches the xml code shown at 03:37, so i can't figure out what's wrong. Any help would be much appreciated , thanks!
