Footer Edits not Taking

Is anyone else having issues with Footer in 7.1?  I've changed it twice, and it keeps reverting back (and yes saved).  It shows up in a separate browser, then goes back.  Very peculiar. Using Google Chrome.  

Also, what's with the links having this terrible underline.  This can't be a mistake on all the templates (footer...and any other...this is directly after inserting the section, and it previews like this in the footer selection window as welll)

This is getting painful.  I've redone, saved and redone my footer 5 times now.  This is like mickey mouse show.  Come ON.  We are paying for this, and can't launch with whatever squarespace wants....instead of what I want!

I'll post my videos shortly of the screen capture.  

thanks @derricksrandomviews for the work around, but shame to have either/or.  (notice the line here wasn't crazy down below)

Same problems today, but with Portfolio title ☠️
