after upgrading to kompare 15.04.0-2 package I notice a weird bug :
the GUI only allows directories to be selected, that means we can not select files, which is silly, because the purpose of kompare is to compare 2 files, and not 2 directories,
Am I alone with this bug ?

No, you're not alone.
But kompare works using kde-servicemenus-komparemenu from AUR

another workaround is to use the command line :
$ kompare file1 file2but it's not enough, because other options in kompare menus who use the "filesave dialog box" have the same problem ( for example the menu "file --> save Diff", we can not type the "save" button )

Yes, there is that bug - kompare cannot see any files in directories, but you can kompare 2 files to. Just you should type full path in both: name and destination fields.

As for this issue you can type file name in the input fields and you can use a hints shown as you type.
I have another issues: I can not to save a changed files from kompare and I can not to save a patch from kompare. In the first case the dialogue saying that the kompare can not to upload a file from /tmp/kompare.... to a destination place (user's rights are not the cause here). In the second case the start dialogue which contains a diff options does shown but the "Save" and "Cancel" buttons placed at the top-left corner and "Save" does not work (dialogue stands here and nothing else).
EDIT:
As for me a downgrade was a workaround for this issues.
