Merging an adjustment selects another layer

[rui_mac]

If I have several layers inside a group and I apply an adjustment (for example, Levels) to the top layer, if I press Merge in the adjustment dialog, I expect that the layer below it (the one that was selected prior choosing the adjustment) gets selected.
Instead, the one on the bottom of the layer gets selected.

Actually, the layer that is affected is only the last one.

If I'm seeing the effect of the adjustment to the top layer (of course, since it is hiding all the ones below it), when I press Merge, I don't expect it to affect the layer at the bottom.

It affects the first pixel layer below the selected layer. all other non-pixel layers between are ignored.

 

This is explicitly mention in help:

https://affinity.help/photo2/English.lproj/pages/LayerOperations/merge.html

To merge a layer with a pixel layer below:

• On the Layers panel, -click a layer and select Merge Down.

The selected layer merges with the first available pixel layer beneath it.

Any non-pixel layer existing between the layers to be merged will not be included in the merge.

 

It would be wise to at least consult the official help before posting bug reports.
