Bug#865791: meld: Traceback error in diffmap.py

[Karl Schmidt]

Package: meld
Version: 3.16.4-1
Severity: normal

Dear Maintainer,

Start meld from a shell - operation is slow and get the following repeated error:

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/usr/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/meld/diffmap.py", line 146, in do_draw
    cache_ctx.set_source_rgba(*self.fill_colors[tag])
KeyError: 'error'

,.,.
Looked for any config information that my have an effect in:
.meld
.conf
.cashe
~/.local/share/meld
( The number of places one has to look today is a bad design IMO )

If anyone needs me to run any tests etc - more information- please advise.
