Hi Suzanne Hunt could you please verify CU update version of your SharePoint farm?

There is a know issue applies to: Microsoft SharePoint Foundation 2013 Service Pack 1 

Fixed by https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/help/3085582/ms15-110-description-of-the-security-update-for-sharepoint-foundation

Cheers,

Federico
