If setting MTEXTFIXED to 0 or 1 didn't work. It may be a graphics card issue. Are your drivers up to date?

 

There is a slight difference if you have MTEXTED set to OldEditor.

 

If MTEXTED is set to “OldEditor,” multiline text is displayed in the Multiline Text Editor, and the setting of MTEXTFIXED has the following results:

Did you have any other suggestions?

Very sadly yes....
I've done a lot of work with forums etc to try and find the solution before I sent my email to Autodesk. I will approach the driver issue personally when I have time.

I, truly, can't either. But it's usually the first thing to try.

What version of Civil are you using? Are all the available updates installed? What graphics card are you using? Is it Certified?
