Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: meld
I have found that meld creates a new directory in /tmp for each file it
diffs. This causes clutter in /tmp and slowly fills up the file system
until meld is closed. Furthermore, if meld crashes or is killed, these
directories are not removed.
How to reproduce:
1) Open a view of the /tmp directory and watch for files having the
"tmp.*-meld" pattern.
2) Make meld open a diff window.
3) Close the diff window, keeping meld open.
4) Make meld open a new diff window on the same file.
5) Close the diff window, keeping meld open.
Expected behavior: There should be no directory left in /tmp after the diff
window is closed.
Actual behavior: For each diff window opened, a new directory is created and
left behind.
6) Kill the meld instance.
Expected behavior: All remaining meld directories under /tmp should be cleaned
up.
Actual behavior: All temporary directories are left behind.
