Description
after an upgrade of ports (but meld itself not) using the quartz variant, meld started to display filenames in the panes intermittently, with refresh issues. Hovering the mouse might display the name or might not, scrolling may help, but some names remain blank forever. It used to work on high sierra, then broke, but I couldn't find many new packages to revert so I have help there.
Probably the issue is not meld itself, but I have not noticed the issue in other GTK+quartz based apps.
After being able to build meld also on 10.7 Lion, I noticed the same issue there too (but have no previous versions to compare).
Note: See
TracTickets for help on using
tickets.
I noticed this issue on 10.7 (although currently this one is now broken), 10.11, 10.13 .... Does it work in newer version of mac? I have no issues on Linux with GTK.
I noticed that since the table has two identical trees, usually if a file displays blank on the left it will display on the right or vice-versa. Could be some kind of memory issue, some re-using... strange. It used to work. A written not meld itself, but one of the dependencies which I could not track down.
