24681	When combining multiple outline elements, the ID of the top one of the selection list is forced on.	SekeRob	SekeRob	"When merging multiple elements of a road or multipolygon are selected one tends the chose the one with the oldest ID in the ""Conflict when combining ways"" screen. If that pick is not at the top of the selection list any ID of whatever way that's at the top will be assigned. Seen this many times i.e. it's not a bug of yesterday. This forces to interrupt the merge/combine activity and than make sure to first chose the section with the ID one wishes to retain before selecting the others.

This issue does not occur when combining an old way with a new way or ways, only when there's more than one way that already have an ID. The screen description says ""The default is to keep the first way and remove the other ways"", but if the 'keep' selection is not at the top of the list, this is thoroughly ignored and the default method is applied."	defect	needinfo	normal		Core				SekeRob
