UNLINKING sections NOT WORKING in Office 2010 (32-bit), Windows 8 64-bit

I'm having a terrible time with the whole LINK TO PREVIOUS thing not working the way it's supposed to for sections.

I want a different header in every section of the document.
I use INSERT SECTION BREAK - NEXT PAGE to create the new section.
I click on the header of SECTION 2 and it brings up the "Header and Footer tools" Design tab
I CLICK ON "link to previous" on the header to UNLINK it.
My header no longer shows the "same as previous" tab below the dotted line - it should no longer be linked.
But when I then CHANGE the header of section 2, it CHANGES the header in SECTION 1!!!!  (AND VICE-VERSA)
(ARGH!)

Is there a known bug or problem with this?
I've tried EVERYTHING I can think of and it's totally NOT working.
This all worked fine in Office 2010, Windows XP... and I really need it to work now.
Is there some magic workaround I can use to get the damned headers to UNLINK properly?

Any and all help would be appreciated!

(Oh, and I've tried inserting additional pages between the end of section 1 and the start of section 2 - no luck.  I've verified my section break is "next page" via the "show formatting symbols")

Scratch that - found the answer - I had to RIGHT CLICK on the SECTION 2 Header, and then click on REMOVE CONTENT CONTROL - thank-you to Angela_911 for the answer!
