When typing i hit the enter button and the cursor goes off the page on the left and it takes two spaces or letters before wording reappears; of course the first two letters of each word is missing. Only way to read correctly is to put two spaces before each line

Are you zooming the page?

You may have zoomed the page(s) by accident. Reset the page zoom on pages that cause problems.

  • View > Zoom > Reset (Ctrl/Command+0 (zero))

Did you make changes to the default font settings?

If you have made changes to Advanced font settings like increasing the minimum/default font size then try the default minimum setting "none" and the default font size 16 in case the current setting is causing problems.

  • Edit > Preferences > Content : Fonts & Colors > Advanced > Minimum Font Size (none)

Make sure that you allow pages to choose their own fonts.
