New updates 4.8 and 4.8.1 causing issues

Hello, I'm using Wordpress 5.0.1 Initially I was unable to edit Posts and Pages with the new update to 4.8. This ability to edit has been resolved with 4.8.1. Now I'm having issues in the text editor. Two buggy things happened before I gave up on trying to edit. 1. I couldn't apply addresses to links. 2. When I clicked Update, it started updating endlessly. I could only exit the Edit Page by leaving, without saving. I can confirm that by disabling the Theme, I have not issues with the editor. By activating the theme, the bugs return. It seems like it could be a conflict with Gutenberg, or perhaps another plugin, but the problems go away when I switch to another theme. Thanks in advance. Would like suggestions, but mostly reporting the issue.
