When i enter text and hit return to create a second line the text entered after the line break does not show. I know the text is accepted as entered as the layer name in the layers panel reflect this.
Similarly, if I create a new text box with plenty of room for several lines and fill it with “Lorem ipsum …” only one top line is shown.
I have not altered Preferences since this last worked
I’ve read about someone solving the same problem by going into preferences and set it all back to Default. However, I hope not to have to do this as then I have to set up my PS from scratch, and I do not remember all the preference settings I have made over time.

Hi Tom:
Jane has worked through all the obvious issues with you. My questions are:
A note on the preferences: Photoshop saves your preferences when you shut down the application and reads those preferences when you reopen the program. With this much activity, files

Hi Tom,
What happens when your resize the text frame wider?
Can you show a screen shot with your insertion point in the text and the Paragraph panel open?
You might also Reset the Type tool in the options bar — right click the icon on the far left.

Hi Jane. Thanks for the quick reply! I have taken a screenshot as requested, but have to see how I can attach it to this reply. Have also tried "Reset Type Tool" to no effect.

Hi, it’s a toggle, and it sounds like you turned it on first, then off again. Try quitting PS, restarting, and trying again in a new document. I know you don’t want to reset Preferences, but that would probably work.
Resetting the Type tool should also have reset the Typeface and size, but it didn’t. Try resetting it after quitting and relaunching. It looks like you are on Mac — what exact OSX?

A note on the preferences: Photoshop saves your preferences when you shut down the application and reads those preferences when you reopen the program. With this much activity, files can become corrupt over time. When the application begins to misbehave, deleting it and allowing Photoshop to recreate the preference file will resolve erratic behavior issues. When you are ready to give it a shot, first save any custom brushes, tool presets, workspace, etc.
