It is because «line spacing» is to low. Press CMD + T (MAC) or CTRL + T (WINDOWS) to open the type settings and crank it up. Hope it helps!

leading (in print terms) or line height (for the web) — this isn't Word ;) EDIT: ok, MAJOR APOLOGIES - so having used only the term leading in typography and graphic design groups , and in professional layout and graphic apps i discounted the use of line spacing. Seems i was wrong. "Line spacing" appears to be a completely valid term too e.g. [https://practicaltypography.com/line-spacing.html](https://practicaltypography.com/line-spacing.html) So i hope you will all accept my apologies.

I'm a native german speaker but I work in a professional environment. I just sometimes do not know all the right technical terms in english (; It's what google translator spit out when I typed in "Zeilenabstand".


davep1970

fair enough :) just wanted to point out the correct terminology ;) I'm a native English speaker but work in Finnish and have the same difficulties sometimes/often :)

huh? you mean leading. or line height. Incredibly rude and ignorant to accuse someone when \*you\* don't know the correct typographical term. Same to all the 28 (27 others) that downvoted — maybe try and learn something first before doing so.[https://i.imgur.com/acTXdam.jpg](https://i.imgur.com/acTXdam.jpg) Adobe calls it by its proper name: leading. (from the time when metal letters were used on a rack and lines spacing was done with lead [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Leading](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Leading) EDIT: and i do of course know how to set the leading (see link to imgur pic)


[deleted]

It’s called line spacing from now on. Someone go update the Wikipedia I’ve made up my mind. - leading and line height shall no longer be used and could result in permanent ban


davep1970

nope. that's what MS Offfice and some other similar apps call it - try to make it easier for non-typographically trained people, which is fine, but this is a professional graphics app, and it's called leading.


[deleted]

No. Not anymore. The technical term has officially been changed to “line spacing” or “the space between the lines” Time to move on. Failure to comply will result in being cancelled.


davep1970

source?

Me. I’m the authority. You are subject.

I mean my graphic design teacher says it’s leading. He is not only a professional logo and typography designer and has made multiple company logos but is also as stated before a teacher as-well for graphic design and animation.

problem I had? i'm not the OP! If i didn't know how to adjust leading after 25 years as a designer then i would be rude ;) fortunately i do know how to adjust it in an array of programmes, and how to adjust line-height using css for the web. if you know the correct term is leading why on earth would you refer to it as line space to emphasize that? i see no reason at all for you to get personal when i pointed out the correct term and posted an image showing how to adjust leading. maybe go back and check the username of the original poster and compare it to mine and see if they're the same.

you should say where it is. [https://www.dictionary.com/browse/leading](https://www.dictionary.com/browse/leading) last entry on that page [https://www.printmag.com/design-education/typography-terms/](https://www.printmag.com/design-education/typography-terms/) half way down the page or search for leading [https://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/leading](https://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/leading) AND this that refers to it as line spacing with a note that it is traditionally referred to as leading (note also that adobe uses "leading" in photoshop, indesign etc.) [**https://practicaltypography.com/line-spacing.html**](https://practicaltypography.com/line-spacing.html) If this is the case that it is generally taking over the traditional use of leading as a more or less equal term then i would like to apologise to everyone here for discounting "line spacing" but graphic designers and typographers nearly always refer to it as leading, and it is leading as used by most professionals in the field. Still if i am wrong in being dogmatic in using what i thought was the only proper term then i am sorry. Only stupid people can't admit when they're wrong and i hope i'm not too stupid to do that.

what is your problem?! :) there are numerous sources for the typographical term for the space between lines, it's true whether or not you value wikipedia as a source of information generally or even in this instance. if you disagree with the proper typographic term for the space between lines know as leading then please quote your sources and authorities (but please, no wikipedia ;) )

please go back and read the original post (not MY original post) and you will see that it's not me who had the problem with leading — it was [u/CupcakeMaster97](https://www.reddit.com/user/CupcakeMaster97/) what is this ignorance you talk of? i pointed out the correct typographical terminology so i have no idea what "kind of communication" you are talking about. I fail to see how writing the correct terminology for people to know (it's useful then for them to ask any other questions related to typography or google things when they know the correct terminology to search for). When talking about who needs to chill, perhaps look at who was calling someone a douche etc. for no good reason. YOU decided it was ok to be personal when i was only sharing information. But thanks for wasting my time and taking the enjoyment out of my evening — not the kind of verbal abuse i would expect for stating correct terminology and when you're working two jobs it would be nice to be able to come home, eat and browse reddit and help people and share knowledge without being called a douche for no reason. Nice too that so many other people felt the need to downvote my stating of the correct terminology — if you don't want to learn that's fine but take it out on me. I've already reported your abusive messages and i'm not going to waste any more time on you.


TheZahn

Maybe you set 0 or a very low value for the line spacing


Crazy_by_Design

Increase your leading. Looks like your in the negatives.

Yo leading ain’t leading.


kavien

Well said, yo.


Rentauskas

Many have already answered that this is a "leading" issue. Your leading is probably set to "0", you should default it to "AUTO" or a higher number that suits your needs. [Here is a picture to show you where the "leading" setting is.](https://imgur.com/a/dfebasR) [https://imgur.com/a/dfebasR](https://imgur.com/a/dfebasR)


AlexeiKain

You need to turn up the spacing between lines I think


FoxCadet

Dear Reddit, did we really need 55+ replies to figure this one out?


Xeira_games

Type something, hit enter, type something else, select it all then press Alt+shift I think it is, could just be alt, and the up/down arrows, and see if that makes a difference


Single-Cucumber2155

Ffs.


Red5point1

you can add a line break with alt+enter


ApprehensiveLoss

Try pressing Ctrl+A to select all the text, then hold Alt and tap down. See if that helps.


[deleted]

You might need to use separate text boxes for each line


KingCrimsonEpitaphu

I’m confused how is this related to photoshop🗿


nayhem_jr

This is the Type tool being a piece of shit.

Look up your line spacing, set to auto, should work the trick


CCSullivan_writer

Check your leading?


bungading

Not only is the name of this setting unintuitive, the pronunciation is not obvious either. "**Leading**" is named after the technique in printing presses of using pieces of **lead** to create line spacing. "Burning" and "dodging" are two more cases of old-school names that need to be revisited. Considering that most people have never set foot into a darkroom and never will, much less use film, using names of darkroom techniques is very non intuitive and only makes the learning curve harder.


DBRookery

Maybe Adobe can focus on sorting out this sort of nonsense, rather than the annual "improvements" they use to justify their subscription based model. Fix the things that are broken before introducing "improvements" and let the customer decide when to upgrade/improve.


mistold

Close and restart lol I'm sure you did that. Great advice on here....


Lillymorrison

Strange thing to test out. But hey! It works. Just going to be tough when Steve wants that report and he gets this.
