Any modifications to text becomes overset on version 20.5

I'm working on an older file (~2023) with a table. Any modifications to the text in the table causes it to be overset text. This includes just deleting a character. The font has not been changed. Please send help.

This is odd and with what you have shared so far, I can't recreate it.

 

What are the Cell Inset values and First Baseline settings?

Ok fiddling around with the cell insets make it so that I can now edit the table! Not sure what changed to cause this error, but thank you for your help!

Hi @aneo9988:

 

Can you repost the first two screenshots with Type > Show Hidden Characters enabled and View > Extras > Show Frame Edges enabled, please? We'll need more information on how this is set up.

 

Also, what change (exactly) did you make between the two screen shots?

I only deleted the 'd' character, then had the overset error pop up
