Thanks for searching the old thread. It is true, now I can remember too. 
The problem was (and I think is) that the routing tables are generated 
before the merging. So the displayed lines does not match the rounting 
and pop up data. The solution would be to do the merging before creating 
the routing tables. I would expect it to have some small positive effect 
to the routing data too. But with the given structure of the code it is 
not easy to implement.

I'm sorry, but I will not have time the next weeks to investigate 
deeper. As I have read from Steves comment, the merge line code should 
not be called at resolution 24.
I would have to check again, but I think this was the solution for the 
old thread. Not merging the lines at resolution 24 does not lead to 
discrepancies to the routing data. So it should be checked, why this 
code is executed at resolution 24.
