This bug was fixed after the release of Meld 1.3.2, so the fix isn't
in any currently-released version. So your options are to grab Meld
from git, or apply this commit:
    http://git.gnome.org/browse/meld/commit/?id=74a9e35678b78cf377ac01881b21d016c9e968c9
and hope that it works (since it hasn't been tested on top of 1.3.1).

cheers,
Kai
