As the title says, when i create a new branch in EGit and start making some changes all branches in my local repository gets changed.

This is a picture of my git configuration:
index.php/fa/19375/0/

You can also see my branches. So when i for example add a line in "disconnectWork" it automatically gets added in "master" and "origin/master" without me merging. Afaik this should not happen and if so, whats the point of branches then?

Is this making any sense, and is there something i can do to fix this?

You probably didn't commit the line you added in disconnectWork, this means this modification only resides in
the working tree, if you checkout another branch this modification is still in the working tree. So if you want
to separate your work on different branches you have to commit the modifications.

In order to protect you against data loss if your working directory or staging area has uncommitted changes
that conflict with the branch you're checking out, Git won't let you switch branches
