This is a drawback of Mtext, in my opinion, if plain Text will serve your purpose.  It's because of descenders, i.e. the lower-case y that appears in your image, and I would bet that the other ones with the grip below the base-line also have y or g or j or p or q or / or ( or ) or some other character(s) that descend(s) below the base-line.

 

Zoom in close and start an Mtext command, get into Bottom-Left justification, and slowly type in the word testing.  Notice that the position shifts  as soon as you get to the g -- now the bottom of the object is below the base-line, but the justification uses that bottom of the object.

 

If you use plain Text, and use [single-word] Left or Center or Right [or Aligned or Fit] justification, not Bottom-Left, etc., then the insertion point will be at the base-line, whether or not there are any descenders.  Mtext does not have those single-word justification options that plain Text has.

 

Oddly, though, in plain Text, if you use [for example] Bottom-Left justification, it puts the base-line raised as might  be required by descenders, even if there are no descenders  in the content.  Annoying but at least consistent -- Mtext only does that shift if there are  descenders involved, so the same object can have its position shifted just by changing one character of its content.
