When I draw a polygon in QGIS that overlaps an existing polygon from the same layer, QGIS automatically clips the overlapping area from the new polygon.

Is there a setting to preserve the shape that I have draw with the overlapping part?

    Do you have tracing/clipping activated? Do you have checked all you digitizing-settings?

    Ah I see, the problem was that "Allow Overlapping" was not activated in the digitizing settings.
