How to stop InDesign CC 2020 from moving dollar sign around

The document I'm working in moves the dollar sign to the right of any number automatically. So $2000  becomes 2000$ and It's infuriating. I'm still new to InDesign but I can't figure it out. Please help

This is the famous 'Paragraph composer' 😉 Set it to 'Adobe paragraph composer' or 'single line', but not one of the 'World composer' settings.

Hi Erubus1

did you inherit the document from someone else?

Can you show a screenshot of the applied paragraph formatting in the Control panel, also another one of the applied character formatting, also from the Control panel when you select the digits and the $ sign?

( Is suspect a formatting feature for RTL documents that is needed for Hebrew or Arabic typesetting. )

 

Thanks,
Uwe Laubender

    It was an Adobe template I downloaded doing the SAME THING. I canceled my personal Adobe subscription because of utter frustration. It's 2 am and I am again trying to retype an entire City government newsletter.
