Yes I have a similar problem on Big Sur, version 11.3.1.
When I cut text from outside textedit & paste into textedit, the text appears fine. Then after typing, a large space appears at the top of textedit and the text is moved to the bottom of the page. It's too annoying to use, so I use other tools for note taking.
