Meld looks broken after (semi-)recent update

After Meld was updated from 1.8.5 to 3.11.2 about a month ago, it looks like this: http://i.imgur.com/j4mS0l6.png

I am using MATE and almost everything looks properly. The only other program with the same kind of visual problems is GHex, and it had them for a long time, but I didn't bother. I've seen several threads recommending to create a .config/gtk-3.0/settings.ini, but that didn't help.

Is there a way to fix this?

My meld also got a worse looking UI after a recent upgrade. Different than your screenshot, but a lot worse than what it looked like before, almost as if it's using Motif or something.

Any idea how to get it to look good again?

Thanks.

Set your GTK3 theme to something else.

What could have changed the GTK3 theme? I didn't actively change it myself, and the change happened after a system upgrade. Thanks!

P.S. I use KDE as main desktop.

Nothing changed your theme, meld just switched from GTK2 to GTK3.
