Can't create a new game save after one of the saves is selected

[ztamas]

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.

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

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.

Move tickets to In-game UI as UI & Simulation got some sub components.
