Of course it's lost. If you *ignore* whitespaces, you shouldn't be
surprised if they're really ignored, also when saving. TMerge ignores
the whitespaces, so for TMerge it's irrelevant from which file it
takes the line to save.

Where did you get that from?

No, it's not. You've told TMerge to ignore whitespace changes, so it
can save it however it chooses.
