Meld problem after gtk3-3.18.3-1

I have encountered a problem running meld (3.14.1-1 version) after last pacman -Syu.
Meld simply didn't compare files anymore. After a little investigation I have found that the
problem disapear if I downgrade gtk3 package from version 3.18.3-1 to 3.18.2-1

Anyone else have the same problem?

I really need meld for version control system interaction.

Regards.

Re: Meld problem after gtk3-3.18.3-1

Do you get any error messages when running it? Does it have a verbose/debug option you can run to see what's happening?

Mod note: not an pacman/upgrade issue, moving to Applications and DEs.

Re: Meld problem after gtk3-3.18.3-1

I can confirm that it does not work at the moment. But from the output meld gives in the terminal I would rather say there is a problem with python.
Though there are gtk errors too.

I put at button on it. Yes. I wish to press it, but I'm not sure what will happen if I do.  (Gune | Titan A.E.)
