marja11 Oops I meant gtk related. It happens in mate on my main machine as well as xfce4 on my laptop Created attachment 7475 [details]
command line output giving a blank text window
I noticed this problem with meld as well and stopped using it. I tried it today and meld doesn't show anything in the window anymore. It's just blank.
I'm on a fairly recent (1 month ago) Cauldron fresh install using cinnamon desktop. The GTK theme in gnome-tweak-tool had Adwaita selected, but changing it to Breeze made no difference. Command line output attached.CC:

curtis_mageia Same here, but did not get around to reporting it... (In reply to Dick Gevers from comment #4) > Same here, but did not get around to reporting it... do you get the same output ? I don't know why ovitters updated it to 3.15.1 when latest stable is 3.14.2 CC:

olav Well yes, in the sense of comment c#3 : blank text window... the content of the files being compared is not shown at all. So meld is currently useless (In reply to Philippe Makowski from comment #5) > I don't know why ovitters updated it to 3.15.1 when latest stable is 3.14.2 I have a bot to automatically update versions if "safe" and patches still apply. It updated meld from 3.15.0 -> 3.15.1 because both are 3.15.x versions. The bot would also update it 3.16.x; though no other change. The bot didn't update from 3.14.2, it updated from 3.15.0. From svn log: | r889637 | philippem | 2015-10-11 14:11:13 +0200 (zo, 11 okt 2015) | 1 line | | update to 3.15.0 BTW, this is likely due to GTK+ changes, need adjustment to theme changes.

Matthias Clasen once blogged about the changes. Seems easier though to file a bug with meld. Sorry but I do not feel quite competent to do so, since I have zero knowledge of GTK+ ... I hope someone else can? (In reply to Dick Gevers from comment #12) > Sorry but I do not feel quite competent to do so, since I have zero > knowledge of GTK+ ... I hope someone else can? Perhaps you can report the bug to Meld : http://meldmerge.org/development.html and give the link here after that. Of course I could but if I do I am going to appear as though I am an idiot bevause I don't know how to report it. So please do it, I won't. theme or X changed and fixed it: closing. Status:
