Merge Trunk Out Of Range Section

Gallery / Merge & Convergence

Two same-row sources merge into one sink past an intervening section while another row's section sits outside the merge column range, so the merge trunk keeps its same-row bypass channel rather than crossing below the out-of-range section.
