WinMerge
Wrong copying path
Hello, I've been using WinMerge for years, even when it was sleepy, because it was the best fitting tool for me for all kinds of operation, from merge source codes to directory sync, under Linux with Wine too. I was so happy to see it supported again, so I switched fast to the new version. Then, I've tried a directory comparison to sync. I've chosen two directories to compare, A to B, and compared fine, some differences found. But when I copy from left to right or right to left, let's say directory C, I see it creating a path from A/C to B/C/C, in other words creating the directory C under directory C again!
I tried to reproduce the bug as follows, but I couldn't reproduce it.
Could you tell me how to reproduce it?
I have two folders, A and B, A has a folder X inside. I compare. I copy X from A to B with WinMerge. Then, I see B\X\X. If there are files, they go in the "deepest" X.

Thank you for your reply. The procedure you described seems to look the same as the procedure I attached. Is there any difference?
Hi, there might be something related to the installation, like a library overridden by some othe application. I see strange things at compare. For instance, the text lines are between black lines and the files are not loaded completely. I've tried to reinstall it, but nothing changers.
I'm having the exact same issue. I'm also using Wine *. The difference I notice is that in your case, the "Confirm copy" dialog has a \ at the end of the "To right" path, when in my case, it doesn't:

I haven't been able to reproduce this issue on Windows yet, but I was able to reproduce this issue on wine 5.0 + WinMerge 2.16.14.
