Type cursor covers several lines of text. Photoshop CS6

In Photoshop CS6 the flashing type cursor cuts through several lines of text (see image). 

This makes it hard to select text since it is hard to tell which line the cursor will select (see image). 

Can the text cursor be resized?  This happens no matter what type size is used or what paragraph settings are selected.  Is anyone else experiencing this problem?  I am using Windows 7 professional, service pack 1 on a Dell Precision T3500 with 8.0 GB RAM.

    Steps to Resolve the Issue:

    1. Open the Type Tool.
    2. Go to the top-left corner, where you'll find a dropdown menu next to the "T" icon.
    3. Hover over the dropdown menu to see the options.
    4. In the top-right corner of the box, you'll find the Settings icon. Click on it.
    5. Select "Reset All Tools" to reset the settings.
    6. This should resolve your issue.

        I think it is not an issue with the certain fonts!
        I just use the general fonts such like Arial, Arial Black, American Typewriter... and my photoshop is the latest version.
        If there is any solution for this pleas let me know.
        Thanks!

        I have this issue with every font, as well, Mario. The cursor is much longer than the descenders, but lines up with the top of the ascenders just fine.

        I thought the baseline shift may have been a factor, but it didn't improve when I set that back to zero.

        Any ideas?

        While there may be a font with Cambria (I've never used it in PS), the size of your type tool is also influenced by you setting of the baseline shift (aka the superscript setting). I set mine to zero, and my text cursor returned to normal size.

            Well, you seem to have the font size at 48 pt while your leading is 30 pt. 

            The cursor is bound to be larger and overlap lines of text because your font size is larger than your leading.

            Try working with a larger leading and reduce that to suit your needs once you are done edting and have no need to select any of text.

            Set the Leading in the Character panel from 30% to Auto and try again. Let me know how that works.

              I thought the screen shot shows the leading at 30 pt, not 30% ?

              Yes, that's correct Station. However going to Auto does not fix the problem for the Cambria font. For some unknown reason it the cursor stays the same.

              It's a problem with the font file and not with Photoshop. He'll have to try some other font.
