in Whisker menu 1.5.1 and in Archlinux based distro [Manjaro/Antergos] can't modify  menu apps no more. In Antergos the menu is not accesable, in Manjaro you can access the menu but when you try to do something Whisker goes down.

What do you mean by "can't modify menu apps"? You could never directly modify the items in Whisker Menu; it only launches a menu editor. Do you mean your menu editor is not launching? Or do you mean it is not detecting changes when you make them in your menu editor?

I set up test installs of both Antergos and Manjaro and Whisker Menu works fine for me and does not crash. It also functions correctly in my regular Arch Linux install. I'm not sure why it is crashing for you. Would you build a copy of the menu and run the panel in debug mode?

What version of Whisker Menu are you using? The parsing of the menu items and categories isn't done by Whisker Menu directly; that is done by garcon, which the classic menu also uses, so I am not sure why changes wouldn't show up in both.

I released version 2.4.0 of Whisker Menu today that changes the way the menu is loaded. Does this bug still happen for you with the latest version?
