Default Filtering records

Did you really merge the cells? Have you looked up merge cells in help? It
clearly states that except for the upper leftmost cell's contents the rest
will be deleted. It even warns you when you are doing this:

"The selection contains multiple data values. Merging into one cell will
keep the upper-left most data only."

Of course if you concatenated as opposed to merge this won't happen, then it
is only a matter of making the column wider. If you really merged the cells
under formatcellsalignmentmerge cells then the error is between the chair
and the computer
