Hello there. I am very new to using Inkscape, and I fear I might have changed some setting that messes up every text that I add to my document.
Every time I add a new text object to my document, the text is rotated 90 degrees clockwise from what I expect. When I first click, my cursor will appear vertical, as though I am about to type vertical text. But as soon as I start typing, the text appears rotated. It doesn't matter if I click using the text tool, or click and drag using the text tool. I checked all of the settings in Document Properties and Edit -> Preferences -> Text Tool, but there's nothing that obviously causes it.
I searched on Google and on this forum, but I wasn't able to find anyone else with this issue. Which makes me think I might have accidentally changed a setting in the past 🙃.
OS: Windows 10 Inkscape: v1.3
I have attached a screenshot and the relevant svg of a brand new document with this issue.

Thanks in advance!
When you use text tool, the option to put text vertically must be enabled. Click on the icon just left (see pic).
Then save this setting for text tool, to avoid getting the same issue next time you use it.
