Question Regarding MergedImage.png

[Dmitry Kazakov]

Hi, Glass!

mergedimage.png should have a valid merged representation of the image in
all the cases, except when Krita saves an autosave file. For them the file
is usually missing. If you have wrong data in it, then it is a bug and
should be fixed.
