In ship design, the quantum engine seems to replace the proton thruster if you check the "Only show latest components" box. This seems incorrect given that the two engines serve different purposes (Proton=faster&smaller; Quantum=more efficient).

I assume they are both at the same tech level (as potentially one could be at the "improved" level and the other not). I have come across a similar thing in the past (though haven't used a suitable race since Shadows to test it) with Phasers and the Phaser Lance where the lance is considered not the latest despite being the same tech level as the normal Phasers. I found that especially odd as the Lance can advance one further tech level in total.

I had this issue too... With the fusion engine that is in the same tier of NovaCore hiding all other engines (greatly annoying me, because my design relied on NovaCore and took me a while to figure what happened when I refited the ship and it ended with wrong engines)

Yeah, it would be great if you could tweak the design engine to show the faster engines instead of the more efficient ones.
