Comment 6 for bug 303502

Version: unspecified (using KDE 1.2)
OS: Linux

Bug reported here:
https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/kdesdk/+bug/303502

Add in a regular expression, eg Settings, configure Kompare, Diff, Options tab and click 'Ignore regexp'. I used ^Version as the regular expression. Close kompare and execute the following

william@caracal:/tmp$ mkdir dir1 dir2
william@caracal:/tmp$ touch dir1/abc.txt dir2/abc.txt
william@caracal:/tmp$
william@caracal:/tmp$ kompare dir1 dir2 &

A dialog stating "could not parse output" appear making the program unusable. This is a regression from Ubuntu 8.04.

william@caracal:/tmp$ lsb_release -rd
Description: Ubuntu 8.10
Release: 8.10

william@caracal:/tmp$ apt-cache policy kompare
