There must be a way around this; otherwise, no developer would ever use an AJAX reRender unless it is updating the entire page when any inputted data is involved.
Ajax rerender does not and should not cause you to lose any form data, think logically, you are sending the request to the server and the server only refreshes/rerenders output for only those elements specified in reRender , it does not touch the other output/data
Debug to see what is causing the form to lose data
