Odd Behaviour with Lists (Collections.Generic) - Bug?

[oliver-jones]

Okay, this is really odd, and I can’t figure it out at all. I’m assuming it’s a bug somewhere within Unity. But check this out:

I have two lists:

var ProfileUsername 	: List.<String>;
var ProfileSubtext		: List.<String>;

I then have this function that creates a new profile, it just adds new entires into the list:

public function AddNewProfile(){

	print("[PROFILE] Add new profile");

	ProfileUsername.Add("New Name");
	ProfileSubtext.Add("Subtext tag");

	print("Username Count: " + ProfileUsername.Count);
}	

Whats weird is that is puts both ‘New Name’ and ‘Subtext tag’ into my ProfileUsername, and ProfileSubtext:

How is this happening? My print ‘Username Count’ also returns a count of 2 entries .

UPDATE

In fact, it adds it to all my List variables within my script.

I just run the code you have above and it seems to work just fine. Only difference is that I have my start function calling AddNewProfile()

class TryThis extends MonoBehaviour{
	var ProfileUsername : List.<String>;
	var ProfileSubtext : List.<String>;
	
	function Start () {
		AddNewProfile();
	}

	 public function AddNewProfile(){
	 
	     print("[PROFILE] Add new profile");
	 
	     ProfileUsername.Add("New Name");
	     ProfileSubtext.Add("Subtext tag");
	 
	     print("Username Count: " + ProfileUsername.Count);
	 } 
 } 

There’s a possibility that some other scripts in your project might be doing this.
