I'd start thinking that the function that the trigger is executing is not
the one that I am editing. Adding raise notice to the function should give
you some confirmation as to what is firing.

Are rows beside the one your are updating not changing or not changing
correctly.

A self-contained example script would help you with isolation and us if you
still cannot figure it out after writing one.
