Notify user an element has been merged during manually adding element
When you manually add an element via the Element menu, and the element already exists (according to the find logic) but under a different friendly name such that it gets merged with the existing element, there's no indicator to the user what happened. The user is not informed what element it got merged into.


1) Manually add an element to the test, the added element should be highlighted in Element Explorer via the yellow arrow

2) Click on a different test step to highlight a different element in Element Explorer

3) Add the same element again, but enter a different friendly name

 

Expected: Because the duplicate element was merged with the element from step 1, some visual cue displayed to the user to indicated which element it was merged into

Actual: Under the recording toolbar it says "Added xxxx" where xxxx is the name you manually entered. However element xxxx is nowhere to be found, the yellow arrow still points to the element for step 2 above. Nothing tells you that it got merged with the element from step 1.

My ticket documented a bug where the first and ONLY definition of a "friendly name" disappears and is not available after the IDE acted like it made it. Not about a second name for the same one.
