In general, GNOME developers and the Debian GNOME team don't want you running apps as root/sudo. We do expect some things to be broken if you try it anyway. However, you can try raising this issue directly with the upstream meld developers who may be willing to apply a fix for the issue. I notice that someone already reported a similar issue today but maybe you can add a comment with your additional research. https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/meld/-/issues/846 Thank you, Jeremy Bícha
