[Kdiff3-user] Problem with menu highlighting on Red Hat Linux

[Skilleter, J. <joh...@ec...>]

I've come across an annoying problem with kdiff3 on Red Hat Linux; A
number of the menu items in the GUI which turn options on or off do not
indicate the current state of the option correctly. This seems to apply
to all on/off menu entries which have icons on the left hand side of the
menu. Those without icons show a tick when the option is turned on or
nothing when it is turned off. Those without icons do not change
appearance.

On kdiff3 on Windows the behaviour is subtly different in that options
which are enabled are highlighted with a paler background under the icon
or the tick, but this isn't happening under Linux and it is all too easy
to run a diff, not realise that the 'Show files only in A' or 'Show
files only in B' options are turned on because there's nothing to
indicate it in the menu and miss something of vital importance!

I've tried it on a couple of PC's, one with KDE and one with Gnome (both
running the same Red Hat) and got the same result - Anyone happen to
have any idea whether this a bug/limitation of the software, or our
particular Linux setup?

Thanks
