Dear Bug Submitter,

This bug has been stagnant for a long time. Could you help us out and re-test if the bug is valid in the latest version? I am setting the status to NEEDSINFO pending your response, please change the Status back to REPORTED when you respond.

Thank you for helping us make KDE software even better for everyone!

Hi,

what does that mean it seems to be fixed in master? It is still version 0.9.98 from 2014-07-08 on sourceforge (https://sourceforge.net/projects/kdiff3/files/kdiff3/). Even on Fedora is still version 0.9.98 and the bug is reproducible.

No 0.98 is the last release by the orginal mantainer some years ago. I'll
provide a link the currently mantained repo when I get home. This project
unmatian for years. The source forge repo is not being updated. I no longer
maintain a kde4 version do the amount of work needed for the kf5 port.
1.7.95 is version in the new repo. I currently working toward a formal
release of the new kf5 version.

The new repo. is at https://cgit.kde.org/kdiff3.git.
Current version is 1.7.95 looking to release 1.8 by the end of February thank you for your patience. As stated I recently revived this project after some years of neglect. Most distro's still have the older version. That will start to change once the official release is made.
