Text format error and cursor is not working correctly

New Here ,
Aug 31, 2018 Aug 31, 2018

When I copy or even write text in InDesign CC 2017 the text is not in the correct order, and when I want to modify it, the cursor is jumping everywhere in the text box.

This is the good text:

This is what I get in InDesign:

I wonder, which system release you are using.

I found this information :

This issue has been resolved with the MacOS 10.13 Supplemental Update released today. Please update your OS if you're experiencing this issue with High Sierra.

Hi verod19249832:

Does this happen in one file, or in all files?

Are you using a Middle Eastern version of InDesign? You can check your language setting in the CC Desktop app:

Ok, so let's try trashing preferences. Start by closing InDesign, then go to Library > Caches and delete the Adobe InDesign folder. It will get recreated when you restart the application.

Note: If deleting this folder makes you nervous, just move it to your desktop. If this doesn't help, you can always close InDesign and move it back. When you reopen InDesign, it will find the folder and all of your old preferences. And remember that the Library folder is hidden by default, so hold the Opt key when you open the Go menu in Finder to see it listed.

Once the folder is deleted or moved, restart InDesign, create a brand new file and start typing. Let us know what happens.

Not working.

Every time I press space the cursor goes at the beginning of the line.

Thanks a lot, Barb... I was in Adobe World-Ready Paragraph Composer. Place it on Adobe Paragraph Composer and the text is all normal.
