gnome-control-center SegFault when selecting category keyboard

Hello,

when I open the gnome-control-center and search for the keyboard category (shortcuts), then select it, I get a segmentation fault.
However if I select the category over Devices -> Keyboard, it works! (I just noticed this right now. I thought it would not work at all before.)
Is there a package that needs to be installed in order for this to work or is there a configuration that needs to be made?

Please tell me which Debug-Information you need!

Re: gnome-control-center SegFault when selecting category keyboard

Hello,

I have the same issue.

A few more details: I start gnome-control-center from a terminal. In the list there is no "keyboard" or "display" entry. However, when I type keyboard or display into the search bar, the items are found. However, if I click them the application seg-faults. No output is written to stdout nor stderr.

I observed this problem in Gnome 3 classic, Gnome 3 fallback, and regular Gnome.

It feels as if something was not correctly installed. However, I do not know how to debug this. Please help.

I can reproduce this, and looks like it's just another issue caused by recent buggy glib2 update.

Downgrading to glib2-2.54.2-2 fixes it for me.
