Why is my text font changing?

Question

Good morning,

I am once more attemptiong to make Adobe perform a task that you would assume is normal and intuitive, but then I am reminded that I am using Adobe.

I am trying to edit as document.

I select "edit".

I notice how it completely nelgects to understand font, sizing, and spacing in any meaningful way...as usual.

I select ALL the text in the first text box to be edited.

Delete it so I am working with an empty text box.

Change the font, size, and spacing to what I need it to be.

Type the first line without issue.

Hit enter to move to the next line.

Begin typing, realise my font, sizing, and spacing has reverted to what it was before.

I think to myself "perhaps I only highlighted one line somehow".

Highlight everything again and change the font, sizing, and spacing while highlighted.

Type my second line without issue.

Hit enter to type the third line.

Notice my text has immediately reverted to the original font, sizing, and spacing.

WHY?????

How do I rectify this...issue?

Regards,

So...update since I can't edit this comment.

The next text box worked perfectly in terms of hitting enter it remembering that I changed fonts etc.

The NEXT box after that however, well, after highlighting and selecting the font etc. I went to type and the cursor starting typing backwards. So to clarify, even though I corrected the font spacing etc. there were some characters that were too close together (fig. pt 1).

I highlighted the offending character (fig. pt 2).

I deleted the character...but it didn't go away (fig. pt 3).

So I used undo and put my cursor where I wanted it (fig. pt 4).

Input the character I needed (fig. 5).

Pressed spacebar to get some room between characters as this needs to be the right format for compliance, and the cursor 'spaced' BACKWARDS (fig. 6).

(fig. pt 7) shows the settings for the text box.

Please explain both what is going on here, and how do I stop this $%^* from happening again?

Regards,
