Should show merge respect channel partitioning?

I have an active showfile containing information in cues for chan 3.

I have an offline showfile containing information in cues for chaos 1, 2, 3.

I want to merge in the information for JUST chans 1 and 2, leaving 3 as it currently is in the showfile.

There are various ways of doing this, but an interesting discovery when playing with this is that Merge > Advanced > Cues does NOT respect channel partitioning.

In other words, I expected that if I had a partition that was just chans 1+2 and channel partitioning was turned on, then merging the cuelist with 'merge channels' enabled would ONLY merge in the data for chans 1, 2, leaving the current chan 3 as it was.

Am curious as to whether this is a deliberate design decision, or just something no-one's ever considered....?

Thanks!
