Steps 1-7 are simply a way to isolate and recreate the bug, are you saying its not duplicating the ID when you follow the steps?

I frequently use the method you mentioned (find product, right click, duplicate), but the problem is if you manually edit a component ID at any point in the project then you run the risk of creating a duplicate component ID when duplicating products.

Component IDs should be unique no matter how they are modified or created.

I just discovered that you can create this with any type of component Id, whether its generated from a field or Text. Add a product, manually increment the ID number by 1, add the same product, they'll have the same ID.
