Purging in mid air on last layer

I can't figure out why Prusa Slicer is purging the nozzle in mid air above the purge tower after it finishes the last layer. I've included a screen shot. I'm not changing colors anywhere near the last layer. I've checked and it is definitely trying to do it after it finishes the last layer, not before. Is there a setting somewhere I'm missing that could be causing this?

Final Purge Image

For some reason I can't get the image to embed so here is a link to it: Image

This looks strange, but is normal behaviour.

 

Here is a post where it was answered before: https://forum.prusa3d.com/forum/prusaslicer/unecessary-purge-in-mid-air-at-end-of-print/

Thanks! That would explain it. I was printing before with manual changes and a wipe tower and the lack of ramming would be why I didn't see it before.
