Is it possible to copy something in 1 layer to another, without the pasting creating a third layer all its own?

Thanks

You always, by definition, paste as a new layer.

Then press Ctrl E to Merge Down (Layer > Merge Down). I hope this is a stock shortcut and not one I made myself, I honestly can't remember. But I use it all the time.

When I copy a layer from another project into the current 1, edit, then merge down (the copied layer to the current 1), something odd happens. The image sequence seems to skip over a layer or 2 when scrolling through the layers, and even jump backwards. Often the layer that was combined stays visible (that eye icon is on) as i scroll down the layers. I've tried it multiple times. Any idea what is happening when merging a copied layer from another project into the current 1?
