I had a user that posted a single post with some text, then two very long posts that contain logs, and finally another post asking for help. I tried to merge these four posts. After I selected all four posts and clicked merge, only the last post of the selection remained without merging any other post to the last one. Others were marked as removed. I restored the posts and tried again but got the same result.

I have 2.7.0.beta5 ([5c84f702b0](https://github.com/discourse/discourse/commits/5c84f702b0f846139f040066c878e28f4674e787)) installed.
