I second Drew's suggestion, change the order up, close window, and then commit changes.
If you have the commit first, for some strange reason, it closes the window first, I've never understood why. Just give it a try. I know that if I'm opening another window, and closing the current one, that I have to have the close statement first, or it will close the wrong window. It's a timing thing there. This might not fix your problem, or it might.

I am guessing this is telling me the Commit Changes is not working.
