Multi-state residency information - TurboTax has a mind of its own.

I'm trying to create a return for CALIFORNIA for the year 2017 with TurboTax Premier 2017.  It is where I moved to after most of the year in Illinois.  But TurboTax insists on treating my return as a "nonresident" of CA instead of a PARTIAL resident.  For example:  Every time I switch the YES to NO on this question:  "Were you a California nonresident during all of 2017", TurboTax seems to ignore my answer of NO.  When I run through the same section a second time, TurboTax changed my reply to YES.   It also asks "Do you own a home or property in California".  I change that to YES, but lo and behold, TT ignores this, because when I go back through the section a moment or two later, the answer now reads as NO to that question.  It seems there is a gremlin or something changing my answers back to what it wishes.   A bit annoying to say the least.
