Hello Holmwood72,


Thanks for asking the Apple Support Communities about the text box typing backwards in Mac.


Try this: Hold down Option while moving the text box. Test if it returns to normal orientation.


Trying this step can help with narrowing down this issue that you've been experiencing. If the issue remains, you might want to reach out to Apple Support to have this looked into further.
