IIUC, this is related to the link syntax change introduced in Org 9.3,
which allows, among other things, "[[" within a link. In this situation,
once you write

  [[This is a paragraph with  [[https://google.com][a link]]
    ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

the underlined part becomes the link.

I agree this is not optimal. Yet, I'm not sure about how to deal with
this.
