PKGBUILD

After years using Arch I might be mistaken, but I don't think there are *-dev
packages[1] as for Debian/Ubuntu. There are two ways which you can help us:

- Easy approach:
You can view coredumps with coredumpctl, pay attention to the entries for
Thunar and take note of the number of PID column (the most recent occurrence).
Then run: coredumpctl dump [PID number] | zip > ~/coredump.zip

And send us that file. However, as Alex mentioned, without debug symbols we may
not find the part of Thunar's code that is crashing (I can try anyway).

- Not so easy approach:
More useful to us, but you have to build Thunar from source. It can be a bit
tricky, specially for users new to Linux. Since you use Manjaro (Arch under the
hood), I have prepared a PKGBUILD (see attachment) which basically automates
the whole process. Download it, put in an empty folder (e.g. thunar-build), and
run in a terminal from that folder: makepkg -si

At the end it will ask to replace the thunar package, confirm and run: pkill -i
thunar
Now you will be running Thunar with debug enabled, once it crashes you can a
meaningful backtrace with: coredumpctl info [PID number]

After playing with "thunar-debug", you should restore the package provided by
Manjaro with: pacman -S thunar (you may now delete that "thunar-build").

Well, I hope you are not overwhelmed with so many instructions and commands.
Let's try the "Easy approach" first.

Thanks for reporting and helping us!
