Is there any way to fix this window issue? Every new text layer I create, the texts ends up typing backwards and it happens in every new project I make. I then realized that my Text Paragraph Window was not normal and Im not really sure how to fix it. 

 

Normal (right) and the Issue (Left)

Hi @Risze,

Are you using the Horizontal Type Tool or the Vertical Type Tool to create your Text layers? The "Issue" image shows what the Paragraph section of the Properties panel will change to when a vertical Text layer is created. You should be able to switch to the Horizontal Text Tool using Cmd/Ctrl+T or by click-and-holding on the Type tool in the toolbar.

 

Cheers,
