Text box alignment - Editing oddness

[SimonH]

I'm hoping someone can help me as it's driving me nuts. I'm guessing I've trigger some change in how mu text fields are displayed when editing. It used to be that I clicked a text box and well just entered or edited the text in it. However, at the moment it's now the box is located significantly below the text, and it's making it really hard to select other text boxes on the  page.

 

Can someone tell me how to make it go back. I appreciate that this is probably not 100% clear as to what I'm referring to. So, I've attached an image, note I'm selecting the text and see where the blue outline is. If I want, for example,  to highlight a word I need to move down to the blue box and feel around for where I thing that word starts. Not ideal. Please help me turn this rubbish off.

 thanks in advance

Just guessing, but I suspect you have somehow set the baseline to a large value in the Characters panel, something like this:

Change that back to zero or a very small number & the text should return to normal.
