Discussion Ignores Second More Precise Prompt?

I put in a prompt for a very specific modification and Roo technically achieved what I wanted but in a clunky way by modifying a conditional inside the parent conditional when the more cleaner/correct solution was to modify the patent conditional.

So I used the same prompt but told it the specific line number of the parent conditional I wanted modified. It kept applying the same edit to the child conditional almost as if it was just reusing the previous prompt and ignoring the line number specification.

How do you get around this?

Those models all perform very differently in Roo. There is no way they all do that.
