This worked for me:

// Overwrites the CrudController edit() method to add template usage.
    public function edit($id)
    {
        $template = request('template');
        // // if the template in the GET parameter is missing, figure it out from the db
        if ($template == null) {
            $model = $this->crud->model;
            $this->data['entry'] = $model::findOrFail($id);
            $template = $this->data['entry']->template;
        }
        $this->addDefaultPageFields($template);
        $this->useTemplate($template);

        return parent::edit($id);
    }

and in select_page_template.blade.php
window.location.href = strip_last_template_parameter(current_url)+'?template='+new_template;

You're totally right @Lider07 and @g87andres - that's the expected behaviour, and that's how it used to work, no idea when this got broken.

@g87andres thanks for the fix, I just pushed your code into master now, a composer update and asset republishing should fix it for everyone.

Thanks again, cheers!
