QuarkXpress Cursor Problem

Running QuarkXpress 9.5 on my iMac. Cursor has defaulted to a horizontal position so every time I open a new project the text I type runs up and down the side of the textbox. How can I fix this to get it back to normal?

My iMac zooms and highlights areas I'm using if hit the spacebar. My iMac zooms and highlights areas, when I use the spacebar during typing. When it happens it will not even allow me to put spaces between words. This seems to happen out of the blue. Because I can type for a bit before it occurs. Esc does not make it go away. Instead, it highlights folders I'm not even using. I've checked the shortcuts but can find nothing that uses the space bar. I'm using a iMac 24" M1. I have tried to do a screenshot of the highlighted area and it just goes away until I close the screenshot app.

TextEdit scrolls to top of window when typing bulleted paragraphs TextEdit (version 1.18; MacOS Ventura 13.5.1) scrolls to top of window when using bulleted/numbered paragraphs. I've read some posts in this community reporting that the cursor behaves erratically, changing its position inadvertently. That's not my case. The cursor remains where it should, but when there is enough text to extend beyond the window height, the window scrolls up when any key is pressed. So, the cursor and, therefore, the text you are typing, goes away from sight. If you scroll back to the bottom, you can see the text is correctly typed; the problem is that you can't visualize it while typing, because any key pressed makes the window scroll up again. This seems to happen only when using bulleted/numbered paragraphs. How could this be fixed?
