Setting to turn off automated lists

Does anyone know how to turn off Figma’s auto-formatting? I’m trying to type '- ', but it looks like Figma is assuming this text must be a bulleted list.

I’m having a similar issue when using text that’s in the format of an email address or a url. Figma is changing these to unwanted links. I’d like to turn off all text auto-formatting.

    This whole thread is 4 years old. Honestly this is embarrassing. Fix your stuff it’s not that hard. People are doing free Q&A and this is not acceptable.

      Please, please, please fix this. At least don’t remove all the numbers automatically when I turn a list back off.

      This auto indent is rather heavy handed for a company that focus on the software that makes UX. Don’t try to out think your users. And when your users give you the same feedback for five years you should probably do something about it.
