When I wish to merge duplicate accounts or contacts, I select one, hit the Merge button and then browse for the duplicate. Even though one record is already selected as the Master record, the same record appears in the selection of records to merge with it. If you try to merge a record with itself you get the error "The two selected records are the same record. Select two unique records to merge and try again."
The merge selection should not offer the master record, since you cannot merge a record with itself.
Steps to reproduce:
- if there are 2 accounts called ABC Bank, select one and hit the Merge button.
- a merge window open with the selected ABC Bank account in the left-hand-side
- type ABC Bank in the account search on the right-hand-side
- notice that both ABC Bank records are returned. If you select the same ABC Bank record selected in the Master field, you get an error and cannot proceed.
