Thunar closes abruptly after about 20 rename/delete operations

As title states, Thunar randomly shuts down after say 20 renames or deletions, and this issue spans multiple versions of Thunar in different distros and different hardware, what I will confirm is that it is happening in version 4.18.8 and the latest version for the (debian ubuntu based) distro version.

I searched these forums, also searched the Thunar "issue board" over at gitlab.xfce.org with no luck, this has been happening for years, I have decided to finally say something because I recently installed Thunar on the new (Debian) setup and its happening again.

EDIT: it just aborted when switching tabs.

Privacy is a human right... I use Tor Browser in Safest Mode to block js, and dragged NoScript addon back into the toolbar to enable js on worthy sites. I add uBlock so it matches Tails' fingerprint.
