Type Tool acting up

[Peter Guitarist]

Since today, when I try to type a phrase in photoshop  version 23.4.2; the cursor will not create a new line, it will just return to the left of the first word and there is no way moving it. Any ideas?

Hi @Peter Guitarist sorry to hear this. Curious what has changed since you last were able to do this workflow?

Let's make sure we're in a default state and there are no stale settings somewhere: 

Restore your preferences using this manual method:

Does it work correctly? 

If that doesn't solve it, you can quit Photoshop and put the Settings folder back. 

It may help if we could see your Photoshop System Info. Launch Photoshop, and select Help >System Info...and copy/paste the text in a reply.  

Thank you,
