Hi all,

I am not familiar what the usual updating cycle for the mailing list downloads is.  The last one I noted is 
in May.  I hope everyone is healthy.

I use Meld quite often and consider it of great value.  One feature that might be nice though, would be to 
have the option to have it display an inverted highlighted (perhaps deep red background) filler for missing 
characters.  One might put a matching highlighted statement of its size (and purpose) when it is selected for 
added clarity on the status line at the bottom of the main dialog window.

The only other thing [and it is likely a big one] that may be helpful where files are to be (highly) equal 
and differences need to be fixed; would be to use the full width of the display and use ~boxed~ areas having 
a light off shade differing backgrounds for the lines that differ in the files.  The memory of the differing 
cursor positions in each box is nice.

Sincerely, Gregory D. MELLOTT
