Hi, thanks for your reply.
I have follow your instructions and here is the OP:

In the meantime i found this: http://tracker.ardour.org/view.php?id=5605#c18109
The problem was happening with numix and arc theme from AUR [light & dark version] but* Ardour works with xfce default theme*. None of the workaround given in the above link works.

That it's related to the Arc theme is very strange. I'm using an Arc theme customized by myself and never updated the theme. At least a self build Ardour 5.8 does run without issues on my machine.
A few GTK apps became unstable on my machine.
SpaceFM GTK2, migrating to SpaceFM GTK3 solved almost all issues. Firefox and all Firefox clones, such as Pale Moon. Claws-Mail GTK2, Claws-Mail GTK3 is even more unstable. I guess GUIs to handle tar archives never worked very well on my Arch install, I anyway prefer CLI over GUI for this purpose. Last but not least, Gimp, but the latest Gimp releases seem to work for nobody on what ever distro. Apart from those few nearly unusable apps, anything else, GTK or Qt, seems to be stable.
It's been years since I used any theme on XFCE besides Arc-Dark, and even more years since any but Arc-Dark or Numix Frost, and I use Ardour and GIMP very often (though none of the other programs mentioned). Not only do they both work right now at relatively new versions (and I update the Arc themes as well), but they always have. The only bug I've ever had specific to these themes was specific to *only* Arc, not Numix, in which Thunar's right-click menu behaved in various broken ways depending on the user. However, that bug was fixed when Thunar completely finished its transition to GTK3. To make sure I'm not failing to meet any bug reproduction steps, here are my versions: ardour 5.12-7 gimp 2.10.6-2 gtk-theme-arc-git 659.766ae1a-1 xfce4-session 4.12.1-8 xfdesktop 4.12.4-2 xfwm4 4.12.5-1 compton 2.0-2
