Small issue with XFCE app finder

I just installed xfce over an Arch Linux build, and I'm loving it. Today I finally configured my desktop exactly the way I had imagined it, and then I ran into a small snag...

Let me preface this by saying that I am pretty anal when it comes to how my DE operates. It's still perfectly usable in this state, and I understand that - but this is bugging me.

I use xfce's native app finder extensively to launch most of the programs I use on a daily basis. Recently, the app finder started appending a dash to its autocompletion of Thunar (it now shows up as "thunar-") when I begin to enter the app's name. It's honestly not a huge deal, but Thunar won't launch correctly when I hit enter due to the dash. I have to clear the dash manually to get it to launch properly. I've tried clearing my session data, clearing custom commands (though that probably doesn't have anything to do with it), and just about everything I can think of or see within the GUI that might have to do with stored commands/text. I also tried manually clearing the app finder's folder in ~/.cache, to no avail.

Thanks in advance for any help you can provide!
