Claws-mail won't start after the last pacman -Syu

Get this error, when starting claws-mail

The program 'claws-mail' received an X Window System error.
This probably reflects a bug in the program.
The error was 'BadMatch (invalid parameter attributes)'.
  (Details: serial 6151 error_code 8 request_code 2 minor_code 0)
  (Note to programmers: normally, X errors are reported asynchronously;
   that is, you will receive the error a while after causing it.
   To debug your program, run it with the --sync command line
   option to change this behavior. You can then get a meaningful
   backtrace from your debugger if you break on the gdk_x_error() function.)

Hello

Seems like you're not the only one : https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=108537
You should try to downgrade glib2, to see if it fixes the issue.

Cheers

Hello.
Thanks for your reply and suggestion.

Downgrading glib2 does fix this issue. But reboot is needed after downgrading.

edit:
Still have my question:
Do I need to report a bug? Where to report, If I do?

Yes, report it. The big link at the top of the page saying "Bugs" is the place to go!

here glib2 version 2.26.1-1 and claws mail works without any issue.
