You should add the URL by using Text > Interactive > Insert Hyperlink, then specifying that you're adding a URL. That will format the URL using a Character Text Style of Hyperlink. As soon as you click elsewhere to resume typing, you should automatically be back to whatever Paragraph Text Style you were using before.

If that doesn't help, some screenshots and/or a sample .afpub file would be useful for further diagnosis.

How did you create it? Did you use the process I described, or something else?

publisher still thinks I am in hyperlink mode how do I get out of this?

If all else fails, correct the Character text style (after the a icon) and/or Paragraph text style (after the pilcrow icon) shown in the Context Toolbar. (If the system were letting me include images today I'd provide a screenshot.)

If it's working in a new document but failing in your current document I'm not sure what the issue might be. But I'd want to see the actual document rather than guessing.

You could perhaps save a copy of the .afpub file, and delete all but one problematic page, and (if the problem still happens) share that .afpub document with us.

Are you typing using an actual Paragraph Style or are you using the No Style paragraph style? I think you may be getting stuck because of the use of No Style.

Affinity Designer 2.4.0 | Affinity Photo 2.4.0 | Affinity Publisher 2.4.0 | Beta versions as they appear.

I have never mastered color management, period, so I cannot help with that.
