DOESN'T "FORCE ESCAPE" WORK WHEN TARGETING AN ENEMY [RM2K3]

This is using the official version off Steam.

The battle event looks like this

Condition: Enemy 3's Turn Count 5
Force Escape - Enemy 3

Another battle event which is supposed to work with it is

Condition: Turn Count - 6
Enemy Encounter - Enemy 4

Enemy 3 remains while Enemy 4 appears. Is this a bug in the program? I don't know why 3 is not being removed from battle.

It's odd. Everything works fine in the battle test, but when played in game, something gets screwed up and he, enemy 3, doesn't flee.

I can't see what's causing this so I'm going to make him flee under his battle strategy.
