Rad Editor - Anchor tag issue

[Pranav]

In body of Rad editor if i pasted the code below in HTML container -

<a href="http://members.farmtoconsumer.org/donations/" target="_blank">
<figure class="center-img">
<img style="border: 0px solid currentColor; border-image: none; width: 100%; max-width: 303px !important;" alt="Donate Today!" src="https://media.mercola.com/assets/images/donate-today.jpg">
<figcaption class="op-large op-center hide-figcap">
<a href="http://members.farmtoconsumer.org/donations/" target="_blank">Click Here</a>
</figcaption>
</figure>
</a>

After this when i switch from HTML to design and then again back to HTML the code changes to below code -

<a href="http://members.farmtoconsumer.org/donations/" target="_blank">
</a><figure class="center-img"><a href="http://members.farmtoconsumer.org/donations/" target="_blank">
<img style="border: 0px solid currentColor; border-image: none; width: 100%; max-width: 303px !important;" alt="Donate Today!" src="https://media.mercola.com/assets/images/donate-today.jpg">
</a><figcaption class="op-large op-center hide-figcap"><a href="http://members.farmtoconsumer.org/donations/" target="_blank">
</a><a href="http://members.farmtoconsumer.org/donations/" target="_blank">Click Here</a>
</figcaption>
</figure>

Notice that the <a> tag was immediately closed. It seems like the editor updates the codes accordingly (some sort of auto-correcting html codes I guess). Is there any way we can avoid this or is this something that we cannot modify or any solution for this?

Hello,

This is the browsers' behavior that are modifying the HTML in this manner. This could be observed also on a page with simple editable div:

Here is a video showing the result of the test:
