Given the default behavior of WordPress, what you describe almost has to be a misbehaving plugin or custom function in your functions.php file.

What I would do is the following:


Disable all plugins
Switch to a basic theme, such as TwentyFifteen or TwentySixteen


These two steps will give you the basic WordPress experience. Create a post/page and see if the bad behavior persists. If it does not, do the following:


Leaving all plugins disabled, switch back to your main theme.
Create a new post/page at this time.


If the behavior comes back, it is something in the theme files that is screwed up and you now know where to begin looking for a resolution. I would start with functions.php. If the bad behavior doesn't come back, then do the following:


Re-enable plugins one at a time, publishing a test post/page in between each plugin re-enable.
Save Yoast SEO for last.


Assuming you've reached this point, the problem should be a plugin or combination of plugins are messing up the taxonomy. By enabling one at a time and testing at each step, you should discover the point where it breaks pretty easily.
