It happened now for the third time that some of my configurations/customizations vanished.
The first time:
(same machine but another Manjaro with nearly identical settings and apps) After I booted from hibernation my panel, thunderbird, konsole-profile, texstudio were set to default. The files are completely gone.
The second time:
(10 days ago) After I booted from hibernation my panel, thunderbird, konsole-profile were set to default. In texstudio only the language package was set do default. The Konsole-profile is still there but not set as default. I also got a locale error with perl similar to this one.
The third time:
(yesterday) I happened right under my nose. I launched a new Konsole (everything was normal) and used kpcli to edit some files. 3 minutes later I launched another Konsole and my setting have been gone. I checked my thunderbird and it was gone (20 minutes after I used it the last time). texstudio setting were set to default as well. My panel was still there but after I booted this morning it was set to default.
Request:
Anybody now where to start with this problem? Maybe some hints where I should look for or what I should google?

If you need something more please tell me!
Edit:
- I was able to solve the locale error in perl with the suggested solution. I solved it after the loss happened the third time. So I can’t tell if the perl error would have occoured again. But my root-password was no longer accepted after I used the solution - but this was just temporary. I think it was caused by the special characters inside the password.
