Pamac GUI no longer launching

Hi, the Pamac GUI is no longer launching on my machine (it worked fine before)… the error message and system information are shown below. Could someone please advise on a fix ? Thanks

$ pamac-manager

Not sure if it’s the same issue as this but worth trying

Hi, I saw and tried the solution in that post before making this post, but the solution there does not work here… thanks anyway. The error that I see suggests that the problem has something to do with GDK, but I don’t know what exactly.

Think I found a workaround. The config file in ~/.config/pamac had width set to some value > 71000. Checked same file on another machine running Manjaro Gnome, and it showed width = 950. Went back to file on machine with error, set width = 950, and saved file. Pamac GUI seems to launch now when I click on it from the dock. Launching pamac GUI from the terminal still generates the error below, which I’ll leave for the devs to look into, but at least the GUI is launching again.

$ pamac-manager                                            ✔  43s 
