Is there anything I can > do to stop this from happening? IIUC, this is related to the link syntax change introduced in Org 9.3, which allows, among other things, "[[" within a link. In this situation, once you write [[This is a paragraph with [[https://google.com][a link]] ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ the underlined part becomes the link. I agree this is not optimal. Yet, I'm not sure about how to deal with this. Regards, -- Nicolas Goaziou
