To remove a text wrap, select the frame with the black Selection tool. Open the Text Wrap panel and click the first icon in the top row.

Go back to the Text Wrap panel where you'll see that some kind of text wrap has been permanently applied. Click on the None icon as I instructed above to remove this baked-in setting. Finally, click on the black arrow tool. The Type Tool should now be reset.

 

If the Type Tool continues to apply a text wrap automatically, the problem is will be found in your Object Styles. Let me know if need help to reset those Styles.
