JIRA automatically format description when it contains certain characters

Our users are seeing weird formatting problem when insert "********************" b/w a block of text in the description field. The result is pushing the block text all the wya to the right and the block text become a vertical line liek:

B

L

O

C

K

...

It seems like *** auto indent the text. Is there another way to disable this feature?
