Meld needs a start and pause button?

When I go to try to use Meld on my (Ubuntu Linux... or Windows 10?) systems, when I am trying to specify the comparison directories, Meld will lock up when I try to select the second directory for comparison, because the dropdown selector is very sensitive and will jump to start the comparison, but with the wrong directories, and that will immediately tie up the system as it gets started. (Ubuntu Linux, i7 notebook, USB 3.0 external drive dock...)

If I could specify the directories FIRST and then hit a START button, I wouldn't care so much if it locked up temporarily, but the locking up makes it very difficult to specify the proper directories before it gets started.

I don't know what "use case" it is designed for, but I am hopeful to be able to use it to cleanup and organize large backup drives (Tb sizes).

Thanks for the cool app.
