I'd try resetting preferences: 

Have After Effects closed then:

Press Alt (Windows) or Option (Mac OS) while launching After Effects. You can release the Alt or Option key when the splash screen appears.

To reset preferences and plug-in cache at the same time, hold down Control-Shift-Alt (Windows) or Command-Shift-Option (Mac OS) while the application is starting. Release the keys when the splash screen appears.

The value of Tracking is -1000. Set it to 0 or some other positive number.

Check your language preferences and reset the character panle. You may inadvertently have enabled RTL typing or chosen a wrong default language.
