For reference Edge is mischievous here:

> When I paste links, they automatically get markedown linked, as if I had pressed ctrl+k. This is definitely some weird user error situation, as other people in my organisation do not have the issue. But they use Chrome and I use Microsoft Edge. If I login via Chrome it does not do this. Anyone got an idea as to what setting could be causing this? All my google fu returns nothing.
