Topic merge error

Back in 2021, I created a suggestion to make the filterbot language-aware, and a few days ago, @mumu245 created a duplicate of it. Because there was valid discussion on both topics, they were merged. However, it still says that the topic is by @mumu245, even though I am the OP.

Everything else about the topic (the title, the URL, etc.) matches @mumu245's duplicate, rather than the original topic, as well, except for the fact that I am the OP.

I tried posting on the topic to see if that would fix it, and I edited the title, and while the title changed, it still says that @mumu245 created the topic.

I can see what happened – instead of moving the posts on the duplicate to my topic, it moved the posts on my topic to the duplicate. I don't know if the moderator that did that just made a mistake, or if there is a glitch in the code that caused that to happen, though.

Typically I don't like to say when I report something, but this may help: I reported the first post of the duplicate to be merged with the original. Next time, should I report the first post of the original to be merged with the duplicate instead?
