Quit TextEdit.app and relaunch it holding the Shift key down and try again.


Uninstall all third party apps that are Cleaners/Optimizers/VPN/Anti-Virus

all known to cause issues on the macOS


if no resolve— I would recommend not putting the window in full screen if that is the extent of your issue


you can try changing the file to plain .txt and compare your results
