[SOLVED] GTK debugging window for thunar stopped working ? no errors

Hello,

Throughout the troubleshooting of customizing the GTK CSS, i have been using the following command on and off:

GTK_DEBUG=interactive thunar

However, the command has recently stopped working. Now it only launches thunar but no longer provides the debugging window. Only thunar is affected. No errors are received in the terminal. Nothing has since been updated.

Thunar can run as a daemon that will relaunch from the existing process when required. Try instead:

thunar -q
GTK_DEBUG=interactive thunar

thunar -q worked. Thanks! now i can do some CSS troubleshooting.
