The function TtaMergeText does that when the text leaf is followed by another
text leaf.
We removed the call to that function in the Amaya code because it made the
undo too
complex to implement in some cases.
Text leaves are merged as soon as the document is saved and re-parsed, so we
considered
the merging as a non crucial operation.
Irene.
