Can you explain?
Where did you expect to see the real location? What do you consider as
the 'real' location?

But do you also have TMerge set to not ignore whitespaces?

The grey circle means that those lines differ only in whitespaces.

Then either you've configured TMerge to ignore whitespaces, or there's a
whitespace change (tab to spaces, ..) you can't really see.

The equal icon indicates that you've used some 'use line from' and now
the lines are identical.
