 When fixing problem code, only change one thing at a time. If you are working on a section of code that has several issues, fix one problem and retry the code before moving on. Sometimes if you make three or four changes before retrying the program, you will inadvertently cause another unexpected problem. This can make you think your fix was incorrect, when in fact only the last change you made was wrong. Change one thing and make sure it works before moving on and you will prevent a lot of confusion. When fixing problem code, only change one thing at a time.
