Is it being run by another script?? Possibly when this script finishes
it returns to the parent script and performs some other commands
resulting in what you're seeing.

I have noticed a bug in the old versions of FileMaker I use whereby
sometimes the name of the layout in the Status Bar's pop-up menu is
different to the one you're actually viewing. It usually seems to
happen when you rename the Layout - the pop-up menu doesn't seem to get
updated properly with the new name. I've never bothered to look too far
into it and it eventually fixes itself, possibly simply when quitting
and reopening the file.
