pages and spread problems

I'm working on a book with 2 page spreads.  Suddenly, when I delete or move a page the spreads end up with either only 1 page or the spread will have 3 pages.  Very frustrating.  I've moved pages at will in doing about 60 pages with no problem and suddenly it is doing this.

This behavior is controlled by the 'Allow Pages to Shuffle' and 'Allow Spreads to Shuffle' toggles in the drop-down menu (hamburger icon) of the Pages pane. You must have ticked the wrong one. Experiment to see how they affect moving items in the pane.

Thanks for the reply.  I've tried every combination of "Allow Pages to Shuffle" and "Allow Spreads to Shuffle" and it makes no difference. The pages don't shuffle.  If I delete one I get a 1 page spread.  If I add or move one I get a 3 page spread.

One additional thing.  I think this started when I saved the file under a new name.
