Hello,
it looks that script creates 2 more copies of the selection
12 instead of 10
And at the end of execution 2 shapes are selected
How i can fix it?
Regards

Unfortunately, I don't have illustrator installed now, but make sure you are selecting only 1 object at time, may be there was another another object selected by mistake.
