P: Text tool Problem: A bunch of small text is all over my screen

So like usual, I made a text box to start typing but I don't know what happened because now there is the same word in various small fonts all over my work. I have no idea where it came from. If you look at the photo, there is the word "Jin" in white everywhere and I can't seem to remove it.

I found resetting the character in the drop-down menu of the character window eliminated this problem.

Did this ever get resolved? Had the same issue on a file today.

Just wanted to follow up. We have figured out the issue and we are in the process of figuring out how to fix it. In the meantime, the workarounds are thus: Either open the text frame, which seems to make the fragments disappear, or use a paragraph text frame (tap-drag a text frame, rather than just tap with the text tool.) the problem appears to be specifically related to point text frames. Hope that helps. I'll let you know when a fix is in place.

Okay, we'll, at least there's a way to fix it in the meantime. The real question is why is it happening. Lol.

For future reference, I was able to make the artifacts go away by selecting the text tool and tapping on the canvas. That adjusted the problematic layer, somehow, and got rid of those artifacts. Not sure why they are there yet.
