Description Ilyas B Arinov 2016-08-30 19:52:22 UTC
Description of problem:
Meld does not create new diff window (instance) for 2-file mode.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
3.11.0 1.el7.2

How reproducible:
Always.

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Install latest CentOS 7 Gnome Desktop choosing Russian locale.
2. Connect EPEL and install meld.
3. Open 2 files to compare.

Actual results:
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/usr/lib/python2.7/site-packages/meld/newdifftab.py", line 112, in on_button_compare_clicked
    tab = self.diff_methods[self.diff_type](compare_paths)
  File "/usr/lib/python2.7/site-packages/meld/meldwindow.py", line 604, in append_filediff
    doc = filediff.FileDiff(len(files))
  File "/usr/lib/python2.7/site-packages/meld/filediff.py", line 321, in __init__
    self.set_num_panes(num_panes)
  File "/usr/lib/python2.7/site-packages/meld/filediff.py", line 1889, in set_num_panes
    self.recompute_label()
  File "/usr/lib/python2.7/site-packages/meld/filediff.py", line 1061, in recompute_label
    self.label_text = (" — ").decode('utf8').join(shortnames)
UnicodeDecodeError: 'ascii' codec can't decode byte 0xd0 in position 1: ordinal not in range(128)

Expected results:
Meld must open new tab or window with 2-file compare workspace.

Additional info:
Is it necessary to use " — "? Why we cant use something simple as " - "?
