I could see the special style of the space of eol in git diff.
However, I could not see the style in tig. Even I use W switch all modes.

Research direction

Start by reproducing the report in tig using a git diff containing end-of-line spaces, then compare the display with git diff and try the W switch across all modes. Done means tig visibly renders the end-of-line space style in the relevant diff views.
