I tried reproducing the problem with the following test, but it did not appear with meld 1.16.0:
perl -e 'for ($i=0; $i<4000010; $i++) { print "$i\n"}' > test1 && (cat test1 && echo "end") > test2 && meld test1 test2
Could you please reproduce the issue with this test case?
Could you please reproduce the issue with meld 16.0? You can use the Debian package from here:
