How do I remove <a> tags that Dreamweaver has added on its own?

After updating Dreamweaver, my paragraphs in my html files are now surrounded by an <a> that connects to the linked image above the text. This tag isn't written into the code, but when you hover over the text in Live View, it shows as a gray box. The extra code is showing up on my live website, creating links where they shouldn't be, and it has to go. Please help!

Thanks, Nancy.

I tried your suggestion, but it didn't help. See screenshot for what the Firefox developer tool shows on inspect. It looks like it's rearranging my code so that the <div> is inserted in between the two image links.

Switch to code view and close the <a> tag.

<!DOCTYPE html>
<html lang="eng">
<head>
<title>Page Title</title>
</head>
<body>

<h1>This is a Heading</h1>

<a href="https://example.com">This is a hyperlink</a>

<p>This is a paragraph.</p>

</body>
</html>
