Bug on the merge page. marriages section

Hi, I think there is a bug on the merge page. I was recently merging Debbins-2 into Deming-256. Both profiles had two marriages to the same two individuals. So on the merge page, there were two rows with marriages, and I had to choose which ones to keep. In the first row I wanted to keep the marriage from the left profile, on the second row the one from the right profile. (Because that way I could get all the dates and locations.)

The expected behaviour: When I click on the right-column check box for the marriage in the second row, the "summary" column on the very right should show the info from the second marriage, right column.

Actual behaviour: The information on the first marriage row is updated, the second marriage row on the right remains unchanged.

Notes: In the actual merge, I think it took the correct information from the right profile on the second marriage row. It is only on the merge page, where the wrong row is updated on the right.

Are the spouses of the people to be merged also duplicates?
by M Ross G2G6 Pilot (747k points)
No, there were supposed to be two spouses. Both of the profiles to be merged had marriages with both of the spouses (i.e., M1 married to A and to B, M2 married to A and to B, and M1 and M2 to be merged).
Merges should be done with the newer profile, that is created more recently merged into the older one.

I think someone else may have better advice and more technical knowledge than I do.
