Merging in Group Libraries

Whenever I merge two items in a group library, it takes me to duplicate Items in "My Library" and not in the respective group library. Using 7.1-beta.24+929147b33 (64-bit), but it has been like this in previous versions as well.
Plugins I have enabled: Add-on Market, Better BibTex, Linter, Better Authors, Zotero OCR
Thanks for your help
Best

I'm not sure what you mean by that. Merging two items doesn't change the collection you're in at all.

Can you explain exactly what you're doing and what's happening? See Steps to Reproduce for the kind of description we need. Make sure you're testing in Troubleshooting Mode (Help → "Restart in Troubleshooting Mode…”), which temporarily disables all plugins.

Thanks, it happened when importing an item that was already in the list. The culprit was Linter for Zotero, it brings me to a dialogue "Duplicated items found" and then offers only one option "Go to merge" and this leads to the "Duplicate Items" section of "My Library" and not the respective group library.
