I was starting my first 1900 game, as Italy, and doing my legacy fleet designs. After designing my Bs and DDs with no issues, I was trying to build a 3kton CL, and the Check Design button wasn't working right. It would give me popup warnings when I had major errors(wrong class, etc.), but not load the design report window. This also prevented the design from being saved - the buttons would just do nothing. I was worried I was going to lose the work I'd already done, because I didn't want to build such a grossly unbalanced fleet, and you can't even save at that point.
It got resolved, fortunately. I'm not 100% sure what did it, but I closed the window and re-opened it a couple times, and eventually it worked. Building ships of 6-7ktons seemed to work better than the 3-4kton designs I was starting with, I think. Also, I switched to using single turrets for the primary at about the same time, so perhaps that helped. (Sorry I can't give a better bug report, but I wanted to get ships built while it was working.)
Edit: I'm getting the same problem with regular fleet design. My first theories don't work - changing double turrets to single, changing starting class, changing mass, and changing gun calibre doesn't help. It worked when I switched absolutely everything to a legal CL design - protected cruiser armour scheme, a belt/gun combo that isn't a CA, and armour on all locations. From testing, it looks like the issue happens when I have 0" of deck armour. So setting deck armour of 1" or more seems to fix this?
