Premiere Pro titles "forward slash" not working properly

Hi all.  First time posting.  I'm having an issue that just started happening that's very bizarre to me.  I do a lot of  YouTube videos of my model building, and I always have title cards with the model name, mfg, and scale of the model, or size of tools I'm using.  I'm constantly using fractions on my title cards to reference things being used in the video, such as "1/8", "1/2", or "1/72 scale", etc.  But now, when typing, the foward slash keeps appearing at the end of the numbers.  Example:   "172/", "14/"  or "12/".   No matter what I do, it pops up at the end of the numbers rather than in the middle.  Can't insert inbetween, can't move it, etc. Very frustrating and messing up my ability to get my title cards done for my videos.  While I use Legacy Title to do my titles (which I prefer) it also does it in Essential Graphics as well.  Did I somehow hit a key accidently that did something to the way it handles a forward slash?  I really need some help.
