Remix and Contract Factories

Question

I built out a fairly complex contract factory and I noticed the factory was only creating instances of itself, not the "child" contract. After observing this I figured I was doing something wrong so I scaled back and tried to implement a super basic version first. However, I'm still observing the same behavior. I wrote this in the Remix IDE and deployed it on the Javascript VM environment.

Here is my factory:

pragma solidity ^0.4.21;

contract ExampleContract {
    string public Name;

    function ExampleContract (string name) public {
        Name = name;
    }
}


contract Factory {
    address[] public contracts;

    function createContract(string name) public returns(address)  {
        address newContract = new ExampleContract(name);
        contracts.push(newContract);
        return newContract;
    }
} 

Everything compiles and deploys fine. When I use the createContract function it deploys a new instance of the Factory contract. Am I missing something?

Per the comments above, the issue was that the wrong contract was chosen when clicking the "At Address" button.
