After Effects Text typing backwards

Hi, I recently updated my After Effects to version 22.2. Since then any time I type in a text box the text begins typing backwards with the question marks and quotation marks ending up at the front of the text instead of the end. I've tried to look up fixes but everything I try doesn't work. If anyone knows how to fix this, I would be grateful. Thank you.

in the paragraph box you need to click:

select/click the icon with the arrow on the left

Yes non of these worked for me either. Seems the latest update broke something. 

I have a project that has set animations for titles. All I have to do is change text. When I change the words typing is backwords. I just used this project last week and it was fine. I updated the project and it still is messed up. I can add a new text layer and it is fine. So however the original project was created isnt working in the latest version of AE, Guess I have to learn how to type backwards til this is fixed


Same here. Newest update is broken.
