Description
A use case for saving game progress is use the same name with a number suffix (e.g. save1, save2, save3, etc.) For this the easiest way is to select a previous save and rewrite only the number in the end. However it's not possible now, because in the save dialog if you select a previously saved game and change it's name in the input field at the bottom of the dialog, then save button tries to overwrite the existing save instead of creating a new one with the new name. In general if you select any of the save entries in the dialog, you can't remove that selection and so you can't create a new save.

See Phab:D1334, it's not obvious that it's the expected behavior to create a new save or not when changing the description. So let's close this bug.

I fully agree with the problem description. It has annoyed me too before and I'm surprised we don't have a ticket for this already.
Still think that an Overwrite? Yes/No/Cancel dialog (about 10 changed lines) should be sufficient for all needs.

Then you need to describe the actions very clear to the user, we shouldn't confuse him.

Duplicate of #4668.
A screenshot showing the issue. The name was changed, but the existing save is still selected and the game try to overwrite that.
