Same depth, it was 18. It wasn't on self analysis, and wasn't on unlimited depth.

That's not at all uncommon in some positions. I've had that happen on standalone engines where I went through a move to show that it wasn't good, went back and went the new move that was good to find out it wasn't, and repeat. 

 

I believe I was letting it think to a depth of around 30 at the time.
