Default Page footers have started

Hello,



I have page footers that have started adding an unnecessary "-1" 2 additional characters for the page numbers in the page footers:

Here is what the Section 3-1 header page looks like - it's a style that automatically generates the appropriate "Section X-Y" for you. It looks the same as Section 2-1 as far as I can tell:

I think what's happening is that the document is using the "3-1" as the Module number, when the Module number should just be "3". Does anyone know what causes the incorrect page numbering to happen, and how to fix it?

I have also gone to the page number format screen, and nothing I change there helps:

I tried changing the "Chapter starts with style" style value, but that didn't change anything either. Changing any of the values on this screen does not solve the problem.

I also have a side-by-side comparison of two section headers, one behaving incorrectly (2-4) and one behaving incorrectly (3-1). They don't seem different from each other though.

I will note that if I delete the "Section 3-1" header that's shown in grey, the page number correctly reverts to 3-3; if you add the section header back in using the Style circled in red on the right of the screenshot, the page number incorrectly becomes 3-1-3 again.

But if I delete the "Section 2-4" header that's shown in grey, the page number correctly stays as 2-28; if you add the section header back in using the Style circled in red on the right of the screenshot, the page number correctly stays as 2-28 again.
