Automatic double bar line with change of instrument - how to override?

OS 10.13.6, Finale 26.3.1.643

I want to make an instrument change part of the way through a section of the piece. My version of Finale automatically puts in a double bar line at the point of the change of instrument. It doesn't make sense and I don't recall having this problem in any earlier version. I've tried the normal method using the bar line tool to change back to a single bar line but it won't respond as it should. Is there another way to override the change of bar line?

The only thing I could think of would be this: does your document display as a transposed score? (see Document > Display in Concert Pitch unchecked). If so, then check Document Options > Barlines > Double barlines preceding key changes. If that is checked and if your new instrument is transposing, then you'll get a double barline.
