When our members paste in a Bible verse/passage from Bible Gateway, the rich text editor exposes the underlying HTML link tags.

This is the genealogy[a] of Jesus the Messiah the son of David, the son of Abraham:

I think this was not an issue before we upgraded from 2.0.6 to 2.3.9. Please pardon me if this does not qualify as a bug -- if there's a simple setting to prevent this, let me know.
