Adding space when adding a link?

Hello, I’m having an issue with links adding <br> before and after the link on a slide.

You can see an example of what it is doing when I add a link here:

I have yet to uninstall and reinstall, just because we had 2 marketing campaigns go out within the last week.

Thanks in advance for any help with this.
