Value increments (wrongly) by 2 on trying to update a hitCount but (correctly) by 1 when view is disabled

Hello, everything works fine in my application but I just discovered something strange

whenever I hit: '{sitename}/tags/store' in the browser, the 'lastHitPostFk' at tagFk(4) is incrememted by 2 instead of 1 (this increments by one in my old no-module application) below is the files seperated by /////////////////////

                  );
                  $selectedHitCount->hitsCount++;    //<<<POINT OF PROBLEM: THIS INCREMENTS BY 2
                  $selectedHitCount->lastHitPostFk = 3;
                  $selectedHitCount->update();
