Meld only opens title bar on Sonoma 14.3.1

[ninetyninew]

I have used this for years with no issue, however since I upgraded to Sonoma 14.3.1 upon opening Meld I only see the title bar, I can drag this around, if I right click Meld in the dock it states that the application is not responding.

Any ideas how to fix?

I'm on Sonoma 14.4 and it works fine

Hmm, any ideas on how to debug this?

I have the same issue (Sonoma 14.3.1). It seems the window is there but empty:

And just some warnings in the console:

Same problem here, even opening "About Meld" opens just a titlebar. When I select "Meld" -> "Settings..." it completely crashes. Notably it's running x86_64 code, so I am wondering if it's the fact that I am on an M2 chip and it's using rosetta?

Edit: Removed Debug Output for clarity (See previous versions of this comment for it.)

Update: So I updated to MacOS 14.4 (Darwin udMacPro 23.4.0 Darwin Kernel Version 23.4.0: Wed Feb 21 21:44:43 PST 2024; root:xnu-10063.101.15~2/RELEASE_ARM64_T6000 arm64) and it now works in that the comparison/about window opens up. Opening "Settings..." still crashes it.

I can confirm. Meld's window is back after an update to Sonoma 14.4 (or maybe it's just a reboot) and opening "Settings" indeed causes segfault.

If I understood this correctly for me it started happening after using meld on differnt monitor layouts, i.e. using it on the second monitor, detaching the macbook from it and starting it on the (now smaller) desktop again. I haven't figured out where the last coordinate/window size of the app is stored on macOS (no ~/.config), but I would want to try removing the user config.

Meld now opens for me, but in macOs 14.4.1 I can't click the file, folder or version control buttons.
