--- Comment #9 from Gerhard Weydt <gerhard.weydt at t-online.de> ---
Merging is a complicate process: the forms to be merged, which are custom
shapes, are transformed into one closed Bézier shape, consisting obviously of
may Bézier curves. In my test, which looked much like yours, I got, for
example, 41 coordinates for the rectangle and 97 for the ellipse (if I
interpret the fact correctly that there are two arrays). I think there are as
much as 41 for the rectangle because if you look closely at it, you see its
corners are rounded; for the ellipse agreat number of segments is no surprise.
And there still is a so-called metafile having 36564 lines, I assume it
contains information about the Bézier curves used, but I don't really know.
Now in your example both shapes had the same attributes, but the general case
is that they may differ. The result of merging is one object, having one field
for each attribute, so the solution to set the attribute to the default value
seems logical.
On the other hand, area fill is handled differently: it seems that the colour
of the object lying farthest back (menu item : Send to Back, Send Backward, as
a default set in order of creation) is used to set the colour of the new
object. So one could argue that the same procedure should apply to the line
attributes, which in your example would exactly what you wish.
But then I would regard it as an enhancement request (set Importance:
enhancement). If you do so, I will confirm the bug.
