How to disable intelligent indent for text/markdown files?

Question

Since ever in my configuration of vim text and markdown-files are indented on following lines to align with open parenthesis.

Text Text Text (e.g. Hello
                World)
More Text

This happens when I create a new-line by line-breaking or when I run gg=G.

How do I disable this for these Filetypes?

I tried disabling autoindent, smartindent, ain't working.

What's the output of :verbose set cindent? And how about :verbose set indentexpr? — Rich, Sep 2 at 14:35
For all these years I thought that cindent is automagically only applied to C/C++ filetypes, but it is applied to every ft if put in .vimrc as it is my case. — Patrick B., Sep 2 at 15:58

As discussed in the comments, this behaviour is caused by cindent.

You can check what's setting this with the command:

:verbose set cindent?
