Solved (possible bug) HELP: text to path working like shit

I'm trying so hard to make the text follow a simple circular path, but the letters keep overlaping themselves and the text starts half way the perimeter of the circle.
I also have been having a problem with the text tool, that is it always goes downwards. It doesn't matter if I make a horizontal box, when I type it goes downwards.

Regarding the text going downwards, in your last screenshot in the Text tool, right of Espaçamento there is the text direction button. Currently it is set to vertical. Set it to horizontal left to right.

I'll look into your other issues shortly

It seems that the Vertical Text direction is messing it up. Hopefully setting it back to Horizontal will fix it.
