SOLVED: Thunar 4.18.5-1 causes Xorg to use up 1 cpu

I upgraded Thunar to 4.18.5-1 and notice that when I start it Xorg cpu shoots up and uses up 100% of one cpu.

I tried starting in terminal with strace and see this happening forever

downgrading to 4.18.4-1 seems to fix this.

EDIT: following mpan's advice I updated and the issue seems to be resolved with 4.18.6-1[

Re: SOLVED: Thunar 4.18.5-1 causes Xorg to use up 1 cpu

Note that the current version is 4.18.6-1. Does the problem persist after updating to the latest version?

Re: SOLVED: Thunar 4.18.5-1 causes Xorg to use up 1 cpu

OK seems a lot has changed since last Saturday. I updated agai & now have linux-6.3.1 and thunar 4.18.6.1; I don't see the issue any more so presumably it was just version.
