Merging two vector layers turns them into a pixel layer even if both layers are empty

I have multiple vector layers that I need to merge in Fresco. When I try to merge them in every possible configuration, they will convert to pixel layers. If I Erase everything from the layer so there is nothing that can be selected and it says the layer is empty, it will still convert to a pixel layer. None of the layers use a blend mode, and the opacity and mask density are both at 100. I know it isn't because of hidden effects, pixel brushes or transparency, because they will still convert to pixel layers despite being empty. Is there some setting I'm missing that is causing this?

I have the same problem too when I tried to merge pixel to vector layer, it suddenly turn into pixel for some reason?

Can you describe a little more about your setup? What device/OS are you using? What process are you using to merge the layers?

I tried merging two vector layers on my iPad (Fresco v 6.6.1), and also on Windows 11 (Fresco v 5.5.5 and, after updating, v 5.7.0), and the results were that the merged layer retained its vector properties. To merge the layers, I used the three dots menu to "Select multiple," chose my two layers, and again from the same menu, "Merge selected."

I'm also facing similar issue. It's strange because about 2 weeks ago this feature was working fine. I merged several vector layers, and they resulted in a vector layer. I checked and ensured the blend mode was normal and all were rector layers. Could this be a glitch?
