Bug report #12488

Impossible to merge features in a point shapefile

Description

Open and toggle to edition a point shapefile layer
select two features and click on "Merge selected features" button.
Try to save. You get an error

Could not commit changes to layer teste
 Errors: ERROR: 1 feature(s) not added.
 Provider errors:
      OGR error creating feature -7: Attempt to write non-point (MULTIPOINT) geometry to point shapefile.

If you cancel modifications, you lose features you were trying to merge.
Tested from QGIS 2.9 to 2.4 without success.

There is a solved issue about such error message (#10747) though it's about copy-paste point features between different layers.
