I don't think that the issue is in meld itself, because when things 
broke, there was no meld update at all, so I am pretty sure it must be a 
dependency that caused it. Since the issue is in the display of the file 
tree, it could be anything in its dependencies.
I wonder if the drwing is direct cococa or goes through gtk-cocoa. I 
think gtk.
At least when harfbuzz broke gtk text drawing on 10.6/10.7, also meld 
had broken text drawing.

But maybe new stuff needs new meld? who knows. If for somebody on later 
MacOS versions, 10.14 is reported... then not.
