Buggy extra line in footer?

Question

I am trying to set up headers and footers in a new document, and I want to have a single line above the text in the footer.

Here is a master-page view of the footer without the line:

Here's what it looks like when I click to add a single line in the frame above the paragraph (using the paragraph designer).

Out of curiosity, I clicked to add a double line above the footer and got this:

(The vertical line in the middle of each image is my cursor.)

Does anyone know what might be going on here? This worked fine in the header (when I used the paragraph designer to add a single line below the text).

Thanks!

UPDATE: I realized after posting that, if I scroll down and back up, the footer text appears on the page. The extra line is still there, though. Here's what it looks like when I've added a single line above the text:

Don't use the Frame Above for the paragraph tag. Instead, just use the Graphics pod to draw a line on the Master page. You can use object properties to ensure it is the right length and at the right offsets.
