Type on path tool bug

The type on path tool is bugging out.
It randomly scatters all the letters all over and even outside the work area.
Closing and opening the file sometimes displays the tekst correctly again but soon it descends into utter mayhem all over.

As you can see in the example.
The 'correct' one exploded as well when I made the screenshot.
The other attached image displays it correctly.

My Illustrator is up to date and running on a 2022 macbook pro 16".

Also, my computer just crashed and restarted but I'm not sure if it's related.

The bug is still there however.

So what is happening step by step? You draw a line and then you use the Type on path tool and click on the line and then?

The crash might have ruined your preferences. So you might want to reboot the computer and rest the preferences (which will erase all your settings)

I designed them more than a week ago and everything was fine.

So just the usual, make a circle > type on path > switch on to the inside by pulling the middle: _|_ thing.

All was fine until I opened illustrator today and it just started happening out of nowhere.

I'll go ahead and try that although I highly doubt that was the cause.

Pretty sure this is the same bug someone here posted about in december 2022.
