Merge notes = loss of data

[Jianfa8Ben8Tsai 0]

Successfully merged 800 notes within 180 MB, the resulting single note has blank contents. 
Merged in the local notebook. 
Please investigate as it results in data loss for users without backups,

You're posting in a user discussion forum

When using local notebooks, users should always have data backups

btw  After a merge, the original notes can be retrieved from the Trash

Out of interest, what was the use case for this?
