it was already fixed in 11.04 natty with meld 1.5.0.

https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=627940#c6 : Right, so this does seem to be an Ubuntu bug. Somehow, Python's universal newline handling is broken in Ubuntu, and since Meld relies upon it for reading non-\n files, you're seeing this bug. If this supposition is correct, I guess the cleanest way to correct this is to patch ubuntu's python implementation of newline.

The two files contain 0doa line breaks. When saving the two files with unix-style line breaks meld works as expected.

I'm rather tied up at the moment but may take a look at this issue in a spare moment if no-one else does.

[Bug 578121] Re: meld regression - now inaccurately highlights file differences
Yes, thank you for the info - much appreciated. So the workaround is: 1) Install fromdos. E.g. in Ubuntu 10.04, sudo aptitude install tofrodos 2) Convert the files: fromdos file1.txt fromdos file2.txt 3) Re-do the meld: meld file1.txt file2.txt Step one would be discovering whether this is a Meld or Python difflib issue. I would guess the issue is with Python difflib because I tried installing a few older versions of meld (which used to work before I upgraded to Ubuntu 10.04) and the problem still occurred. -- meld regression - now inaccurately highlights file differences https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/578121 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

I'm attaching 3 files. To reproduce the bug, do meld file1.txt file2.txt and you should get the same (incorrect) result as in my attached screenshot (meldDiffScreenshot.png). The result is incorrect because the wrong line is highlighted as different, it should have highlighted the line below. The means the file gets in a mess when you click the - or - buttons to try to merge the file. This is only a small trivial example to show as a demonstration - I have seem far bigger problematic errors in meld. ** Attachment added: file1.txt http://launchpadlibrarian.net/48648894/file1.txt -- meld regression - now inaccurately highlights file differences https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/578121 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

It appears that Meld uses difflib, which is included in Python's standard library.
