Description:
Recently Meld seems to be crashing when doing a directory compare with "Couldn't find colour scheme details for meld:unknown-text-foreground; this is a bad install" I have tried re-installing meld, removing all of it's configuration files, and resetting the values in dconf-editor to the defaults with no luck. Looking in the journal I don't see any other log messages than the one line above. Additional info: * package version(s) Meld 3.16.0 Gnome-shell 3.20.1 GTK3 3.20.3 Default Adwatia (dark mode) theme * config and/or log files etc. "Couldn't find colour scheme details for meld:unknown-text-foreground; this is a bad install" Steps to reproduce: Choose two directories to compare and click compare. The application will crash. |

Whoops. Sorry about the title, didn't notice until after I hit
sumbit. I can't find an edit button now to change it.
Works fine here. Make sure to try with the regular Adwaita theme.
Ahh turning the "Global dark theme" off fixes the problem. Is this
still a meld bug, or should I report this with someone else?
It's likely a problem with the theme. I don't know what "global
dark theme" does, does it use a variant of Adwaita? If so, were is
it from?
It's a toggle switch in the gnome-tweak-tool (see screenshot
attached). I don't know much about how GTK themes work, but I
assume it just flips to Adwaita's dark version (which is available
out of the box with gnome installed).
Note there is a simple fix for this problem at
