Text overwriting itself

I’ve just downloaded scrivener for the trial, and have gone through most of the tutorial.
However, when it comes to actually writing into a project, all my text is over writing itself on the same line. It doesn’t matter whether I type it in manually, or copy/paste it in from elsewhere, it all just ends up on the same line, over and over.

I’ve attached a picture of what it looks like. Am I just missing something obvious or is this an actual bug?

(I have Windows 10 if that helps)

*I have tried going through the tutorial to see if there was anything that might help, and also a search on google, as well as looking through the forums, but didn’t see anything relevant.

Hi Kea

Discussion of the phenomenon here:

I’m guessing you started with an HTML copy and paste, and injected text with some unusual spacing params, and are now typing into that. Recommend you try Documents > Convert > Formatting to Default Text Style or Select All in Scriv’s editor, then cut and paste. (Ctrl-A Ctrl-X Ctrl-V). It’s annoying, but pasting into Scrivener from HTML often requires a formatting fix.

Thank you!

That does seem to have fixed it - I had copied the text out of a Google document, and then was trying to manually type it in.
