SUMMARY
Often (but not always) kdiff3 shows a main window with everything disabled and fails to render any of the three sources. This is common with conflicts launched by git mergetool, but doesn't require git mergetool (the same command in the command-line has the same problem).

STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Create a conflict with Git rebase or merge
2. Run: git mergetool

OBSERVED RESULT
See screenshot. The application is not frozen, because it responds to Ctrl+Q and shows a dialog. But the main window is completely disabled.

EXPECTED RESULT
The application shows the three sources and a potential merge.

SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS
Operating System: openSUSE Tumbleweed 20251031

KDE Frameworks Version: 6.19.0
Qt Version: 6.10.0
Kernel Version: 6.17.6-1-default (64-bit)
Graphics Platform: Wayland

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
This seems to happen more commonly with the --auto command-line option. Removing it usually makes kdiff3 work.
