thank you for your answer and advice.
I think this is not a wanted behaviour in case of productivity. When i merge
cells, then i want all the merged cells to hold the value that is shown. Not a
value that is not shown. 
Also if i later write a new value in the merged cells, i want to retrieve the
shown value from all of the merged cells. Not just from the first one.
I think this is not a behaviour anyone expect from the merge cells feature in
spreadsheets.

Probably this is not a bug, but i think an unwanted behaviour it is definitely.
