This hasn't been my experience. I just tried it right now, and  
whitespace lines stay in place as they are, nothing removed from  
them. (Though I do find it surprising that shifting left does remove  
some whitespace from those lines, I would have expected the shift  
left-shift right behavior to agree.)

Is this a TextMate command? I just created a command with input  
selection and output insert as text, and with text the following, and  
it read the whitespace just fine.

#!/usr/bin/env ruby
require 'pp'
pp(STDIN.read)
