why does wordpress do this

[Jojo]

Every time I go type out <img> it automatically types out the close tag too </img> and I have to delete it then go type it out at the end of the image.

It is to help you no sinister reason

I hate it lol

Me too and it confuses me and I leave extra tags here and there I wonder why they have it set up this way.

maybe https://wordpress.org/support/topic/dis ... omplete-4/ go in the code

very annoying & all this time I thought it was me missing some setting in WP to prevent it from happening so I am not the only one.

Not enough users have complained or else they would remove it,it is a crap idea.

Some people on the development team must have this weird idea it is welcomed by end users

I know it is a waste of time when I have to edit pages in the editor but what you going to do it's part of the turf.

Is there a plugin to stop it from doing that?

Let's start a petition to tell WP not to do this, it really is fucking annoying.
