Topic: Extruder won't go back to Park position after print

I'm having a very strange issue. Whenever a print finishes, the extruder remains at the last position that it extruded any plastic. If I leave while a print finishes, that means I get a very nice melted spot right where the job finished.
I'm using repetier V0.90C. I have the print settings set to move to park position after a print.

What makes this strange is that if I kill a job midway through a print, it moves back to the park position with no problem. It;s only if I let the job finish.

Could this be an issue with the slicer? I updated slic3r to version 0.9.10b at the same time that I upgraded repetier and I wasn't having this issue on the older versions. Should I just add something in the end g-code to movve the extruder back to park, or is there a better way to fix this issue?

Post up the gcode for and object that has done this.

Very easy to add a home command at the end of your gcode too.
