My full report is here: https://forum.manjaro.org/t/thunar-crashes-when-a-terminal-opened-bug/103925 Maybe the XFCE devs will have a better idea than the Manjaro devs? Thanks, John. $ thunar -V thunar 1.8.9git-fa90bc (Xfce 4.14)
Thanks for reporting ! Could you please provide a backtrace of your crash ? A disto specific manual for creating backtraces can be found here: https://docs.xfce.org/contribute/bugs/start The described bug reminds me a bit of Bug #16000 (fixe in thunar 1.8.10) ... as well on that bug, it mattered from where thunar was launched. Though this might just be a coincident. If you have the possibility to test with 1.8.10, it would be worth a try.
Hi Alex, Thanks for the reply. I looked into making a backtrace in Manjaro (Arch), and it doesn't look easy - so I'm not sure I want to get into that. Sorry about that (I used to be a C developer too), you were happy to help and I'm letting you down. If there is anything else we can do, I'm happy to test out any other options. Like - do you know what xfce-terminal is doing when it opens, that could cause Thunar to switch its side pannel to /lib/ao ? I retracted the part about it matters where Thunar was opened from, it doesn't. But I am running Cairo-dock and Compiz. If I login as root, then it is a plain xfce desktop. Thunar does not crash, but neither does it try to switch the side panels' directory. Yours, John.

FYI: got a Manjaro update, to Thunar 1.8.10. No difference, still the same crash. I'm more convinced it's something in my Manjaro install - not really a 'bug' in Thunar. Maybe you might want Thunar to cope with the problem? Just have it reload the GtkTreeView / restart internally ? Otherwise, I wouldn't spend too much time on this. Yours, John.

If thunar crashes, than usually thunar is to blame ;) Though if you are not motivated to compile thunar from source, or to provide a backtrace ... than I am sorry, I cannot help you.
Any news? I noticed in that in your second screenshot (before/after comparison) the volume labelled "4.1 KB Volume" has disappeared and the tree structure was shifted up by one. What purpose does this volume have?
Thanks - I hadn't noticed that. I have no idea what that volume is, I have no volume like that. It must have appeared when the bash terminal was opened. Maybe I'll go try it with different terminals (I'm not home right now).
Just tried this again - now on Thunar 1.8.14. No crash. Seams to be fixed. Thanks. John.
Thanks for the update, John!
