Featured image issue in featured page content

I am using the Featured Content function on the home page, and it is set to show featured page content. Although I do not have a featured image set on any of these pages, if I put an image in the content area of the page, it shows double in the featured content area - once as a featured image and then again as the actual content. I have tried disabling the featured image function for these pages but it still shows. Any ideas? Thanks, Gary
