It's unlikely anyone would move the merged window to the top as a preference only without being aware of the original inconsistency. If someone has been using a workaround, it would be fairly obvious as to what has changed, and definitely more so than when they first encountered the original behavior. Any adjustments to the new behavior would probably be a workflow change rather than a system configuration or scripting change.
