On SQL Server 2008 R2, I have a script that explicitly begins with 

USE MyDatabase;

and it never ever switches to any other database;
When I execute the whole script, it runs against the correct database, as I have specified in the first line.

If, however, after I have ran the whole script, I highlight and run a part of it, SSMS intermittently runs it against another database.

This is potentially very dangerous, and it never happened to me with previous versions of SQL Server!
How can I avoid this dangerous bug?

    This sounds like this Connect bug that occurs if you have a RAISERROR or your SSMS session gets otherwise disconnected (this can be due to flaky network and you may not notice that it happened). It is a dangerous bug and while the Connect item doesn’t state so explicitly, I suggest you apply SQL Server 2008 R2 SP1 to your workstation, as I’ve heard that it is fixed there.
