Slider links to itself

Version 2.3.5
I have the pro version (but the lite version does this as well).

I have noticed that when this slider gets installed on a site, it automatically gets a hidden link which point to “#” – I’m not able to confirm this, because there is no actual link, the way the browser sees it.

It makes no difference if the slider has any content at all.

Affected browsers: All.

I remember this was fixed some months ago with an update, but on every other site I’ve created, this problem persist.
