comparison view has unreadably dark background

[Adam Dingle]

I'm running Meld 3.12.1 on Ubuntu 15.04 (Vivid). In this version, the left and right panes of the file comparison view have an unreadably dark background, making Meld effectively unusable. This occurs both with the default Ambiance theme and also with Adwaita. I'll attach a screenshot.

If I build Meld from git master then all is well.

Actually even if I build and install from git master I still see this problem.

If I checkout the meld sources from git master, then run without installing (e.g. '~/src/meld/bin/meld foo bar') then the problem does not occur, oddly.
