Why is Photoshop Text always have to much space above when selecting?

I keep thinking this is going to be fixed in an update, but it never is, why over the last maybe four years has Photoshop text been so screwed up?

You can see here in the image I posted, selecting the text, the selected section acts as if it is giant tall skinny text. I cannot see why this is happening, it seems like the baseline is off but adjusting that just moves the text up, the highlight stays the same.

I have had this issue on other computers, so I don't think it is my system.

Turn off Superscript.

The text was set as Superscript because you (inadvertently) set it as a default. So Photoshop wasn't "screwed up" as you put it!.

It is screwed up, turning off SuperScript still shows a large space above the text when selected.

Thank You!

I don't understand how this setting stuck for so long over multiple versions of PS!

And here it is with the Baseline shift to 0, in case you thought that was the issue.

Here is the screenshot of the Text with the text panel, I noticed when scaling up the text the empty space moves from top to bottom. One screenshot has the font size at 33, the other at 660.

Thanks

I dont recognise your issue; can you post a screen shot of the Character panel and your Layers?
