This is a list of all topics that have been set for this channel

Duplicates, that is consecutively set topics with identical text and

same author, have been merged into a single list entry. The date and

When you select a topic in the list, the edit field below it will
receive
its text. Once you start modifying the contents of the field,
however, the
list will switch from the regular entry selection mode to allowing
you to
perform text selection on the entries in case you may wish to
incorporate
some of their text into the new topic. To return to entry selection
mode and
a synchronized edit field, undo back to the original text or close and
reopen the dialog.
The second sentence, which start with Duplicates is quite unclear to
me.
Hi,
Actually, it is not the pure documentation question [1, line 5002].
I am not a native speaker, but I interpreted the second sentence as
follows:
1. Duplicates are the topics with identical text and the same author,
have been merged into a single list entry.
2. The duplicates will be merged into a single list entry.
3. The date and time shown for this single entry is the date and time
of the last time the topic was set.
Hope this helps. However, it will be good to have an opinion of some
native speaker or Eike Hein himself.
Best regards,
Yuri

Yuri - I absolutely agree with your interpretation. (I am a native
speaker.) Would it make sense to reword the original as:
When there are multiple entries in the list with identical text and
author, they have been merged into a single list entry. The date and
time shown for that entry are the last date and time the topic was set.

Committed. Many thanks for your suggestion.
Best regards,
Yuri
