Prefab Library: GM unstable when Duplicating a Prefab into a project that contains an asset with the same name
What Is The Bug?
When using 'duplicating into' from the Prefab library a warning dialog is offered with the option of keeping/replacing or renaming. Currently selecting to rename can make the IDE unstable:
From the ui.log exception it also seems that somehow I was using the incorrect version of the prefab I was trying to duplicate
=== A resource or record version does not match the IDE you are using. ===
C:\ProgramData\GameMakerStudio2-Beta\Prefabs\io.gamemaker.uipanelsglossy-1.0.0\prefab.json(7,35): GMSC Error: Record version 1 is different than that of this release: 3

I confirm duplication works when:
- do not have anything of that name already in your project
- duplicate twice
- second time the box shows
- Tick the Rename box
So... I think the version mismatch mentioned in the ui.log should be the focus of the problem-solving here.
Looks like the user interface prefab collection version has been downgraded to 0.1.2.
