Research direction

Start in Settings under Behavior and trace how the default merge action is read when a workspace shows its merge button. Reproduce with the default set to "Create Pull Request"; done means the button displays "Create Pull Request" instead of "Merge" and the setting remains respected.

Bug description

The default merge action is no longer respected. It always goes to merge locally, even though I have the default merge action set to create a pull request.

Steps to reproduce

In Settings, under Behavior, set the default merge action to "Create Pull Request." Then, in a workspace, observe that the button says "Merge" and not "Create Pull Request".
