dmenu doesn't list applications when using xmonad

Since dmenu 4.4, dmenu has stopped listing applications when spawning it with Mod+p, instead I now have to fully type an application name for it to spawn something. It runs fine when executing 'dmenu_run' from terminal and ~/.config/dmenu_run does list all my applications.

Here is my xmonad.hs:

import XMonad
import XMonad.Hooks.ManageHelpers
import XMonad.Actions.NoBorders
import qualified Data.Map as M

import XMonad.Layout.NoBorders
 
main :: IO ()
main = do
   xmonad $ defaultConfig
     { terminal    = "urxvt"
     , modMask     = mod4Mask
     , borderWidth = 2
     , keys = newKeys
     , manageHook = composeOne [isFullscreen -?> doFullFloat ]
     , layoutHook = smartBorders $ layoutHook defaultConfig
     }

newKeys x  = M.union (keys defaultConfig x) (M.fromList (myKeys x))

myKeys conf@(XConfig {XMonad.modMask = modm}) =
             [ ((modm,  xK_o ),   withFocused toggleBorder)
             , ((0, xK_Print), spawn "scrot")
             , ((mod4Mask .|. shiftMask, xK_l), spawn "xscreensaver-command -lock")
             ]

I'd appreciate any help that you can give.
