weird link problem 1 prim / 1 LI + 1 prim / 1LI = 1 prim / 9 li ?

I am just starting with the new update of firestorm and this is possibly a bug, but I was wondering if this is normal and I hadn't noticed.

 

I have one prim (a cube, not mesh) with a image texture, and another prim with an image texture. These are each 1 LI / 1 Prim. When I link the two i get 1 Prim with 9 LI. most of the time when I link two cubes together i get 1 prim / 1 li.

It looks like your second prim is HOLLOW.  Any "torturing" of prims gets them counted as "new mesh" and not "old prims".  That is simplistic A friend had the same issue yesterday; it was the hollow.      So just leave them as prims.

thank you! i did a different thing anyway instead of trying to surround the wall.
