A stop job is running for User Manager for UID 1000

Hello, since some time (a few weeks I think, I cannot really trace it back to the moment it started to happen) systemd is not able (almost all the times) to properly kill a job during shutdown which results in an annoying 2 min timeout. I know I can change the timeout, but I would like to get to the bottom of this problem and solve is rather than using a workaround.

I have already followed the Debugging instructions at the systemd website, and the (relevant lines of the) shutdown log are the following:

So, I believe the issue is with libinput-debug-event, however I am stuck, I don’t know how to continue to solve the problem…

Just created an account on the manjaro forum to suggest exactly this fix. Ran into the exact same problem this afternoon and that sorted it for me. The first shutdown still went slow so I should probably have refreshed something but now all shuts down like it should.
