Could you test if meld version 1.8.0 still crashes on Ubuntu 13.10 ?
If meld 1.8.0 release still crashes, then please test latest meld 1.8.1 package - you can download latest release from http://packages.debian.org/sid/meld

[Rolf Leggewie (r0lf)]

Please NEVER install a debian package on a Ubuntu system. That is a really STUPID thing to do.

That being said, can this error be reproduced on xenial or later?

We are sorry that we do not always have the capacity to review all reported bugs in a timely manner.

This release of Ubuntu is no longer receiving maintenance updates. If this is still an issue using a maintained version of Ubuntu then please let us know otherwise this report can be left to expire in approximately 60 days time.
