Hello !

I was looking for another minor problem and I found than "xapp-gtk3-module" was not loaded !
I loaded it via Synaptic.
And Thunar is working correctly....but selection is now activated via a double-click instead of small panel in upper right corner

Hi,

I solved the problem : It's the Thunar windows size, too large for screen and last ligne is masked.
It's a known bug and should be corrected in the next version of Thunar.

I went to /home/user/.config/xfce4/xfconf/xfce-perchannel-xml/thunar.xml and edited these values:
Code:
<property name="last-window-width" type="int" value="640"/>
<property name="last-window-height" type="int" value="480"/>

into Code:
<property name="last-window-width" type="int" value="798"/>
<property name="last-window-height" type="int" value="547"/>
