I still have issues with merging. Quite often in something like the makeshift sci if set I posted a few pages back when I merge a character that was saved as a scene one of the shelters loses all its Reality settings while the other one does not. My plane also goes back to full gloss. Sometimes fingernails setting will jump to another figure. Im sort of used to working with it. Merging has never worked quite right (for me anyhow) since 4.5 & 2.5.
