I concur. And this is a MUCH more serious problem than it sounds. However, there does seem to be a work around. Duplicate indeed overwrites the previous template, however there is a work around.

Select the design you want to upgrade, and in the upper left "Green Compass" window, select NEW_TEMPLATE. This will keep the original design however. Once selected, you can even rename it from new_template to whatever you want. Select the modules to change, which will allow you to update the template with only the changes you made. Voila, new template created.

Poor implementation, if devs went ahead with this bug. Duplicate should indeed 'duplicate', and if you ever ever ever ever are going to overwrite an existing template, a warning, preferably a double warning should be given. When I mess up my templates, I have to reload the game. Too costly of a mistake, and this bug compounds the heck out of that.

You are totally right!
It works.

Steps to create a new design:
1. Select the design to upgrade.
2. DUPLICATE.
3. Change some modules (without any change the original will be just renamed. So you can't have 2 similar classes).
4. Then Update or Save.

After that the the ship class filter is cancelled so you see all your ship classes again.

There is a helpful post in the main forum that clearly distinguishes the steps that reproduce the bug from the steps that avoid it.
