GNOME Bugzilla – Bug 654790
"New merge" window crashes when clicking "3 ways" button
Last modified: 2011-08-11 19:12:57 UTC
OS : Ubuntu Natty 11.04 (32 and 64 bits) Meld Version: 1.5.0 Problem On 2 computers (32 an 64 bits plateforms), 3 ways merge is unavailable because when the new merge window crashes when the 3 ways button is clicked. It occurs on both files and dirs tabs. Mels continues working and the new window can be reopen for a 2 files or a 2 dirs merge. I have uninstalled 1.5.0 version and reinstall 1.3.2 version and it works properly. Best regards Xavier
Thanks for taking the time to report this bug. Without a stack trace from the crash it's very hard to determine what caused it. Can you get us a stack trace? Please see http://live.gnome.org/GettingTraces for more information on how to do so. Thanks in advance!
Thanks for your answer. How can i get a debug trace? I can't find any debug package for meld. I can't launch meld with gdb because the file /usr/bin/meld is a python script. To be clearer, when i write the window crashes, i mean the window closes when i expect that the 3 way checkbox becomes checked. In fact, it works as if i have clicked on the cancel button. Maybe there is no program crash.
This bug is already fixed in Meld 1.5.1 or later. Thanks for your bug report. *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of bug 650876 ***
Thanks - It works perfectly in Meld 1.5.1. Unfortunately, Ubuntu Natty repository still contains Meld 1.5.0.
