So I'm going to fall back to my default response in such situations
and say that... Meld isn't doing anything weird here. I suspect that
the Ubuntu theme has done something slightly odd with button selectors
or something, but I can't really be sure until I get around to
spinning up a VM.

If anyone else wants to look at this, pulling up gtk-inspector on
e.g., Meld and Geany and seeing what the difference is in CSS
hierarchy + applied styles might be useful.

cheers,
