You are using a thunar version from 2017 ... so changes are good that your bug
got fixed meanwhile.

So you have different options:
1.) Upgrade to debian 10, which is the current stable version (see here:
https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Debian)
That I would advice you in any case, since sooner or later you anyhow need to
upgrade in order to get security fixes. This would bring you thunar 1.8.4 (and
possibly more recent bugfix versions over time)
Here some manual:
https://phoenixnap.com/kb/how-to-upgrade-debian-9-stretch-to-debian-10-buster  
... there are many others out there.
2.) Compile thunar master (or 1.8.10)  from source:
sudo apt-get install automake gcc 
git clone https://git.xfce.org/xfce/thunar
cd thunar
./autogen.sh
<Here you need to add all missing development packages (packagename-dev).
Autogen will telll you which are needed>
make -j4
./thunar/thunar -q; ./thunar/thunar   (This will quit the current thunar and
run the self-build thunar without installing it to the system)
