[Bug 303502] [NEW] Use regular expressions in kompare causes "could not parse diff output"

[wsfulton]

Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: kompare

Add in a regular expression, eg Settings, configure Kompare, Diff,
Options tab and click 'Ignore regexp'. I used  ^Version as the regular
expression. Close kompare and execute the following

william at caracal:/tmp$ mkdir dir1 dir2
william at caracal:/tmp$ touch dir1/abc.txt dir2/abc.txt
william at caracal:/tmp$ 
william at caracal:/tmp$ kompare dir1 dir2 &

A dialog stating "could not parse output" appear making the program
unusable. This is a regression from Ubuntu 8.04.


william at caracal:/tmp$ lsb_release -rd
Description:	Ubuntu 8.10
Release:	8.10

william at caracal:/tmp$ apt-cache policy kompare
