Because they have different hash codes. You’ll have to override

hashcode()

as well.

Fascinating, I hadn't looked at the implementation of

List<T>.distinct()

before - under the hood it's doing this:

Copy code

ArrayList(LinkedHashSet(this))

Perfectly reasonable implementation, it's just that naively I wouldn't have expected it to be using a

HashSet

for the deduplication.
