Sorry but I will need some step by step instructions. I did try to follow your description of what you were doing but with some errors in your terminology I was not able to confirm this as a problem. I used the sample file that comes with Legacy so you can follow along with my steps
Use Sample File Select Asa Clark Brown Open him for edit which opens the individual edit form (page as you call it) select his birth in Woodstock Use the down arrow to open the Master Location List (not the Geo database) The GEO db opens with Woodstock selected since this location is in the Geo Database *** There is no way to combine locations in the Geo Db though so this is where I lost you *** I selected Woodstock from the Geo Db to return to the Master Location List (this is where you can combine locations) I clicked the Combine button I then selected Tionesta, PA and clicked the Combine With (This combined Woodstock into Tionesta so Woodstock no longer existed in the Master Location List) To follow your step of combining other locations I then selected West St. Paul MN Clicked Combine a second time Selected Winnebago Prairie MN Clicked Combine With to remove West St. Paul Winnebago Prairie is highlighted I then clicked close (If you click Select at this point you are selecting the currently highlighted location so that will be the location returned to the Individual Information form) The Birth Location for Asa is now Tionesta PA (the location into which Woodstock was combined) and not the location highlighted on the Master Location List (Winnebago Prairie).
