Calcurse: if configured, flagged item went disappeared in TODO list

duyinthee · 2021-10-02 04:45:57

I am now using Arch + xfce4. And I use calcurse for my appointments and todo list, I like it very much by the way.
Now I have noticed that if I configure calcurse for different layout or colors, the flagged items has gone disappeared.
If I delete ~/.config/calcurse and restart calcurse, the flagged items come reappear.
Is there anyone having similar problem with calcurse.
I have tested with xfce4-terminal, st, and alacritty terminals. All have same issue.
The current calcurse version is 4.7.1-1.

Thanks...

Today calcurse flagged items back to appear after upgrade of running # pacman -Syu. In fact, the applications that I had problem with in the last two-three days are calcurse and viber.
In calcurse, flagged items disappeared. (now back to work)
In viber, images and documents such as pdf files could not be sent anymore. (now back to work)
All suddenly back to work just after today update. So the log of today update is

In the log, could you please suggest me what package might be culprit of my recent problems with calcurse and viber?
I think they are qt5-base and qt5-declarative. The log of them are

[2021-10-01T08:53:35+0630] [ALPM] upgraded qt5-base (5.15.2+kde+r227-1 -> 5.15.2+kde+r228-1)

[2021-10-06T09:57:16+0630] [ALPM] upgraded qt5-base (5.15.2+kde+r234-1 -> 5.15.2+kde+r236-1)
[2021-10-06T09:57:17+0630] [ALPM] upgraded qt5-declarative (5.15.2+kde+r31-1 -> 5.15.2+kde+r32-1)

It is important to know which package should be downgraded if viber or calcurse has a little problem in the future because the two applications are essential for my work.

Thanks in advance.

None of those packages is a dependency for calcurse and I also can't imagine how they'd impact rendering of the terminal.
viber *could* be related to pamixer, but I doubt so (because " images and documents such as pdf files")
