Meld 1.8.4-1 Ubuntu Trusty, Linux Mint 17.1

Hi,

I can make a diff between files.

But if I make a diff between folders I get this error:

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/usr/lib/meld/meld/newdifftab.py", line 115, in on_button_compare_clicked
    tab = self.diff_methods[self.diff_type](compare_paths)
  File "/usr/lib/meld/meld/meldwindow.py", line 693, in append_dirdiff
    doc = dirdiff.DirDiff(app.prefs, len(dirs))
  File "/usr/lib/meld/meld/dirdiff.py", line 384, in __init__
    self.update_treeview_columns(self.prefs.dirdiff_columns)
  File "/usr/lib/meld/meld/dirdiff.py", line 447, in update_treeview_columns
    current_column = self.columns_dict[i][column_name]
KeyError: 'gr\xc3\xb6\xc3\x9fe'

Could you tell me if the error above is a known issue?

I also tried to install meld 3.1.12 from Ubuntu Trusty backports, here the diff between folders works fine.
In this version (3.1.12) I don't have a location entry, but only a dropdown.
Could you explain, how I can activate the location entry in the version 3.1.12?

Kind regards,
Julian Santer
