What is going on here?

Please help...this is driving me nuts!!!!

I'm trying to add two instances of an GameTable object to a Vector. However, when I try and add the second table (one GameTable has already been created and added), for some reason, when trying to add a second, the program modified the first object in the Vector and then adds the object.

The following output is displayed when this block is run for the first time (nowhere else in the code is variable that1Table referenced).

It's the two lines in bold which is really puzzling. Just by creating a new GameTable object I seem to have modifed the object the Vector is pointing to?

$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$

$$$$$$ BEFORE ADDING $$$$$$$$

There is 1 in the Vector

Old Trafford

Obj at pos 0 in Vector is called Old Trafford

Obj at pos 0 in Vector is called Stamford Bridge

$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$

$$$$$$ AFTER ADDING $$$$$$$$

There is 2 in the Vector

Stamford Bridge

Stamford Bridge

if (tables.size() == 1){

TextIO.putln("Obj at pos 0 in Vector is called " + ((GameTable)tables.get(0)).tableName);

GameTable that1Table =new GameTable(tabname);

TextIO.putln("Obj at pos 0 in Vector is called " + ((GameTable)tables.get(0)).tableName);

that1Table.start();

tables.add(that1Table);

}

Any idea?
