Description Ryan Hayle 2016-05-10 23:14:11 UTC 
Running 3.16.0 (Ubuntu yakkety package)

If I try to do a directory or git comparison, I get the following error:
"Couldn't find colour scheme details for meld:unknown-text-foreground; this is a bad install"
It works fine for regular file comparisons.

I'm using a dark theme (Oblivion). I was able to fix the problem by simply adding a foreground colour in /usr/share/meld/styles/meld-dark.xml:

<style name="meld:unknown-text" background="#aaaaaa" foreground="#888888"/>

I don't know if style properties are supposed to be inherited from meld-base, but if so that doesn't seem to be working for me.

Thanks for that catch. I've pushed a fix to the 3.16 branch and master.
