Created attachment 974134 [details] meld screenshot Description of problem: File comparision in meld is unreadable under KDE (see attached screenshot). Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): $ rpm -qv meld meld-3.12.1-1.fc21.noarch kde: 4.14.3 (fully updated to updates-testing as of now). How reproducible: 100% Steps to Reproduce (just to be sure we're using defaults): 1. Create a new user 'kdetest' 2. Login as 'kdetest' using 'KDE Plasma Workspace' 3. launch 'meld' /etc/services /etc/services Actual results: Text to compare is unreadable. Expected results: Text should be readable. Additional info: On F20 there wasn't such an issue.
Triaging to kde-workspace for now, though this is more likely a change in meld (kde differences between f20 and f21 are very minor)
Seems to similar to bug #1118898.
I would argue this is a meld bug, it seems to unconditionally use a black background for unchanged text, regardless of active color scheme (which obviously can lead to problems if text contrast vs. this hard-coded black is too low) Re-assigning...
Created attachment 974157 [details] meld-3.13-screenshot I followed [1] and have cloned the latest meld sources and the issue seems to be fixed (git: 936b6ab). [1] http://comments.gmane.org/gmane.comp.gnome.meld.general/2241
I also could reproduce it and it is very annoying (unchanged text is not visible at all). Possibly it is introduced by: https://mail.gnome.org/archives/commits-list/2014-October/msg01998.html https://mail.gnome.org/archives/commits-list/2014-October/msg05560.html I also tried and commenting lines: fixes_provider.load_from_data( "MeldSourceView { background-color: rgba(0.0, 0.0, 0.0, 0.0); } " "MeldSourceView:selected { background-color: %s; } " % color) in /usr/bin/meld solve problem for me. I've attach screenshot how it looks by default.
Please try to use the 3.13 [2] version from koji. [2] http://koji.fedoraproject.org/koji/buildinfo?buildID=602522
+1 on fix: Same thing occurring in stock Gnome-3 desktop as well. (Upgraded system from ƒ20, not clean install, however.) Identical presentation (solid black outside of diff regions; text visible when highlighted). Koji build meld.noarch 0:3.13.0-1.fc22 → works fine.
This is fixed in upstream meld 3.12.3. Any chance of pushing out an update?
