In my experience the problem is not specific to fr_FR.utf8, but more or less all locales other than en_US.utf8 and C. The exact symptoms may vary slightly, but the common factor is that the actual comparison functionality is completely unusable. FWIW, I tested the meld-3-12 branch in meld's official git repo, and that meld seems to work fine on CentOS 7. Lubomir, I ran into this today as well on a fresh CentOS 7.2 install:
[thl@truhe tmp]$ date > 1.txt; sleep 1; date > 2.txt; meld 1.txt 2.txt

Maybe it would be wise to rebase to a later version? Want me to prepare something for you? Which version? The latest (3.14.2) might match the gnome in RHEL/CentOS now.
I confirm the issue on RHEL 7.2, either with the GUI or at command line. As a result, meld is unusable for file comparison. Can anyone provide a more recent build? Could you give this package a try please: https://kojipkgs.fedoraproject.org//work/tasks/5669/16015669/meld-3.16.3-2.el7.src.rpm I plan to submit it as a update for epel7 Well that new version doesn't start for me:
