Preserve some content when merging table cells with empty cells
Closed, InvalidPublic

Description

If you have a table that contains a blank column, followed by a column with content, the "Merge cells" button will remove all of the content. Please let me merge away the blank cells, and keep the content.

This is different from T127505: Warn me that 'merge cells' means 'lose most of your content', which wanted to keep all of the content.

This is what already happens. If you try to merge two cells, and either one of them is empty, then it puts the content of the nonempty cell into the new, merged cell. @Whatamidoing-WMF thinks her test case may have been different somehow.
