Go to 'window' > 'character' to open character dialog. and check the circled setting in the attached pic. Photoshop calls it "leading" however, I'm tempted to call it line height Big Grin It should be set to Auto.

Leading and line-height are the same thing.

It's called leading because back in the day of hot-type (printing-presses) a wooden box was filled with letter-stamps to create the text for the page. They used strips of lead in-between rows of letters to increase the line-height. Thusly, the amount of gap is called "leading".
