graphics issues when having multiple meld windows running
Hey.
Unfortunately, I have no easy way how to reproduce the following issues: What I do quote often is, to run e.g.:
$ meld 1 2 & exit
with 1
and 2
non-existing and then just copy and pasting stuff from somewhere else, diffing that and so on.
If only one meld window is running, this usually works fine (or it might just take much longer for the issues to occur), but when I have other meld windows open (diffing other files) I've seen the following behaviour:
- CPU at the meld process goes to 100% (never stops), but apart from that it might be still usable
- the interface somehow breaks, what happen is that in one of the window, the colours are still there and work as usual, but in another meld window I see for example only the lines differences but not word differences... or I see line differences (and still no word differences) but they do not update/change anymore, when I modify the lines (e.g. when adding new differences or removing such)... or I also had the case that simply no colours are shown anymore an things are just white (though different)... or the case that only when scrolling up/down, no new changes are highlighted
When these issues happen, then quite often, the later happens first soon to be followed by the former.
As said it's unfortunately not easy to reproduce that... it happens every now and then, when having multiple meld windows open and having done quite some "editing already...for some (longer) time.
Not sure whether the thing with the non-existent files 1
and 2
is a requirement or not, but I do that quite often so it may help to reproduce.
I'm always using the most recent version of meld in Debian sid.
Thanks, Chris.
