Default Sometimes entering simple function causes it to occupy two cells, why?

I was putting a slightly modified version of this function into cell
B12, in doing so it occupied cell B12 and B13 and merged the space
together. This happens often when I am using functions, how can I make
sure it only takes up one cell address?

=IF(ISERROR(FIND("Astro",A17)),"","*****")

Are the 2 cells merged? Select the cell(s) and click on Format - Cells -
Alignment tab, is the "Merge cells:" box checked? If it is, uncheck it.

No, they are not merged. If I copy this function into any new
spreadsheet it happens as well.
