Creating new templates in child themes breaks layout
I was having the same problem as the OP, when working in a child theme and copying the sidebar-page.php file to make my own template file (named register.php).

Should a child theme share the same theme options row as the parent, or should it have it’s own options row?
Neither. Theme options should be stored as theme mods, using get_theme_mod and set_theme_mod. Internally these map on to options, but it is the official way to store theme specific options, that way when you change themes you don’t get clashes, and your settings are preserved for if you ever change back. It’s the classic adage … Read more
