Description Balint Reczey 2012-09-19 06:49:18 UTC 
Reproduction:

cd /tmp
mkdir 1 2 2/d
touch 1/a 1/b 2/a 2/b
meld 1 2

Now right click in the right pane over the 'd' directory (where 'd' exists) and select Delete->OK. After that, the 'a' file is wrongly showed as a directory with a ">" icon at the left to expand it.

The problem has been reported to Debian at:
http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=688058

Thanks for the detailed steps. That made this significantly easier to debug.

The patch commit message has details of the actual problem, which is kind of ugly and involved. However, the patch I've attached seems to work for me. I'd appreciate some additional testing of this patch before it actually gets pushed however.

The fix works nicely for me, too. Thanks!

Thanks for testing. I've pushed the fix to head.
