I still have the original posters problem in TSVN version 1.5.6, Build 14908.

It seems that a bug #336 is filed on this topic and that it's fixed i R8836.
But maybe you just fixed the file loading, and it's the saving that's the problem.

To reproduce this error:
* create a one character text file (without newline)
* copy this file
* select both files in explorer
* do a diff (they are the same, aren't they?)
* right click in the line in the left file and select "Use this whole file" or "Use this text block"
* save the changes using toolbar icon
* refresh using toolbar icon

Now the right hand file has a newline at the end.
