If you only want to merge changes to mybranch/Procedures/file-32, then
right-click on file-32, not on Procedures or mybranch.
If you only want to merge revision 31337, then right-click on any of
those three (but pick one and be consistent), and select only revision
31337.

If you want to merge something else, then pick the variant of the
above that most closely matches your desired behaviour, and repeat as
necessary. Alternatively, merge some superset of the desired merge,
and revert the files you do not want merged.

No, it is not strange. What is strange is that you think it's possible
or reasonable to merge only your own changes. Imagine that developer A
creates a new procedure in revision 1023 and you add a call to it in
revision 1058. If you then try to merge revision 1058, without merging
revision 1023, your merge, even if it's turns out to be
copy-source-to-destination, created a broken source, because it calls
a procedure that doesn't exist.
