Suddenly all my text is appearing underlined.

I've searched but cannot find how to turn it off.

Such a simple thing but I'm completely lost.

How do I do it?

That's probably the underline (baseline) when making a text layer and should go away when you commit the text.

I think that represents the baseline of the text and is just for visual reference.

You can hide it while typing by pressing Cmd+H.

The usual cause is having Underline enabled in the Character panel.

Thanks for pointing out the Character panel which is what I was looking for.

However, the underlining box was not selected and I have come to the conclusion that what I am seeing is not underlining as it disappears when I change from the Text tool.

This is a screenshot.

Perhaps you could explain what it is I am seeing?

Just discovered that clicking on the Hand Tool removes the underlining.

It appears that the text is automatically underlined whilst using the Text Tool but I never had this problem in earlier versions.

Why is it underlined whilst being typed?
