Created attachment 928257 [details] screenshot Description of problem: If meld is executed from command line (e.g. in git diretory) there is a lot of warnings in terminal. ** (meld:7592): WARNING **: Couldn't register with accessibility bus: Did not receive a reply.

As you can see, it is difficult to see which line is newly added.
related: https://www.bountysource.com/issues/1423160-meld-spits-scary-warnings-on-startup https://www.bountysource.com/issues/1428842-more-deprecation-warnings I made a local build with a trivial upgrade to meld-3.11.3. I think it partly solves this issue by giving less warnings ... and it is useable! 3.11.1 started up in a small window every time - 3.11.3 remembers the last size and can thus start up in a useful size. 3.11.1 did not show color highlighting of diff chunks - 3.11.3 do.
