Probably a Bug: Lost data merging!

From: Luca Mazzanti <luca.mazzanti_at_seltris.it>

Greetings, I notified a problem during merging data between branches, there
is a loss of data.

The test to do is really simple:

 

STEP 1: On 2 different branches, modify a file, especially a row in
different ways, and commit in each branches to create a simple conflict.

STEP 2: Then on the first branch, edit another file and commit (this is
needed to merge with separated revisions ([1-2][3-4] for example).

STEP 3: Then on the first branch, edit simply another row (this modify will
be lost!).

 

Now go on the second branch and merge this two revisions ( step 1 and step 3
of the first branch).

You'll get a conflict, select resolve all later.

 

Now: if you open the file with a simple text editor, you will see the
conflict to resolve and the row modified on step 3.

The Problem: if you open it with Tortoise Merge (through 'Edit Conflict' of
TortoiseSvn), you will be able to merge the conflict on step 1, but you'll
LOST the step 3 modify!

 

Absurd, we lost some times data in this way.

Please help me find why we are doing bad, what is the correct way to do
that? Is this a bug? I think yes.
