okay so i'm a bit annoyed atm cause either there's a change in Text tool that I didnt know or its a bug

when I'm using text tool and try to press shift+enter, it'll usually create a new line of text where I can type but when I do that now it DOES NOT create a new line instead it stacks up resulting into this:

is there a setting i need to change or what?

Find the Leading option within the Character Panel. Press the downward facing arrow to the right of the number field. This will reveal a dropdown menu. Auto should be the first option within this menu.

Good call by Jane having you show the contents of the Character panel. The problem is that your Leading value is set to 0.01pt. Change this to Auto if you want Photoshop to apply the default spacing between lines or set whatever number you feel is appropriate for this block of text.

well I actually found an alternative solution tho i'm not really sure why it fixed it...but yeah apparently its the Leading Value set to 0.01pt. I thought that was the default value cause when I adjusted it, a message poped up and said the value cannot be 0.00pt and must be atleast 0.01pt...anyway I did found a solution.
and that is by going to Type > Convert to Paragraph Text.
not sure what it exactly did but it fixed the value back to 0.

well since its the Leading Value was the problem, and you suggested to change it to Auto, how do I do that?

It's hard to see if you have a text frame (drag) or if you are using point text (click). Can you show your Paragraph and Character with an insertion point clicked settings? Both panels are in the Window menu. Also, which Enter key — alpha or numeric?

the alpha..the shift+numeric enter key brings up the 3D settings

I havent changed anything in the paragraph/character settings other than the font size and font type...
