xfce4-display-settings crashes for me:
xfce4-display-settings
[1] 1739 segmentation fault (core dumped) xfce4-display-settings
I have installed:
xfce4-settings-gtk3 4.14.0-1
Currently I can't reproduce this error. Did you reboot after you upgraded?
@philm @kawasakai Hi, I can confirm I see the same issue when switching from KDE Plasma to see how XFCE 4.14 was these days. I have three screens connected by a Dell 3100 USB3 hub, working fine under Plasma. However, after XFCE install, reboot and log in the xfce4-display-settings only works if I disconnect the Dell hub. With it connected I get the display duplicated on all three screens but the segfault when launching xfce4-display-settings from the terminal. Didn't do too much in the way of further diagnosis, tried twice, same result so I went back to Plasma.
Hi,
I have the same issue. I have 2 external monitors (1 hdmi and 1 dsub) and laptop's own display. If I try to open xfce4-display-settings I get:
$ xfce4-display-settings
Segmentation fault (core dumped)
Yes I did reboot. Also after Slartibartfast196 reported the error happening only multiple monitors. I tried the same and can confirm it happens only when I have 3 monitors connected.
Having only the internal display connected, the display-setttings open just fine.
Here are my specs with 3 monitors connected:

Hi. I'm running into the same issue. It started with the first reboot after yesterdays updates.
This are my specs (Internal Notebook Monitor + 2 externals)
System: Host: jochil Kernel: 5.2.8-1-MANJARO x86_64 bits: 64 Desktop: Xfce 4.14.1 Distro: Manjaro Linux

If the notebook is not connected to other monitors (or the monitors are deactivated) everything works fine
OK, seems to be a bigger problem then.
Would be good to check with upstream about this. Since only a few tested 4.14 during development it might had slipped thru. See also.
What was the last working version you guys know of?
I assume one of the last three display: commits might had introduced the issue.

Please get the PKGBUILD, change to an earlier commit and recompile it. Let me know the culprit to notify upstream.
I did build your package, but it didn't fix it.

Hy I have the same problem.
xfce4 4.14 crashes display settings with 3 displays (1 edp: the notebook screen).
It works with only one external display but crashes immediately when I connect the 3-rd one.
Downgrading to xfce4-session-gtk3-4.13.4-1-x86_64.pkg and xfce4-settings-gtk3-4.13.8-1-x86_64.pkg solved it for me.

Did you changed the commit to an earlier than 4.14.0 tag?
Also upstream told me this.
Hi Philip,
could you ask your users to run xfce4-display-settings through gdb to get a backtrace?
Otherwise I'm not sure, I can't reproduce the problem here.
Also make sure to file a bugreport upstream: bugzilla.xfce.org
Cheers
Simon
Sry, I missed to downgrade in my previous post.
I did now, but still:
% xfce4-display-settings
[1] 1770 segmentation fault (core dumped) xfce4-display-settings
% xfce4-display-settings -v
xfce4-display-settings 4.13.8git-d2ad11 (Xfce 4.14)
See in our history on how we changed the commits
If there is one of our packages working, let me know. So far 4.13.8-1 is confirmed, which is upstream this commit, please double check and maybe do a git-bisected starting with the last working version.
working here:
xfce4-display-settings -v
xfce4-display-settings 4.13.7git-ea6efe (Xfce 4.14)
Is that the first working one? Please do a git-bisect by cloning the upstream git repo and start with a working commit sum. Build the package with that sum and confirm. When you get a new sum string change it in the PKGBUILD and rebuild. Repeat the process until you have the culprit of the issue.
I went to far. 4.13.8-2 is the last working for me.
Maybe this is a little over my head, I don't see 4.13.8-1 in the git repo.
I never used git bisect before and I have some trouble figuring it out. That is how far got:
* 0320df9 - (HEAD -> master, origin/master, origin/HEAD) [pkg-upd] 4.14.0-1 (3 days ago) <Philip Müller>
* 990875d - (refs/bisect/bad) [pkg-upd] 4.13.8-3 (4 days ago) <Philip Müller>
* ccec7d8 - (refs/bisect/good-ccec7d8234b2371905ff21f9a965d0d51ef1c09d) [pkg-upd] 4.13.8-2 (10 days ago) <Philip Müller>
same here, clicked in settings it hangs and in the terminal i am getting: "Memory access error (memory dumped)" translated from ger to en.
nvidia native drivers
3 screens, left and right both 4k 60hz and in the middle 2560*1440@165hz.
i am on stock arch, btw.
OK, seems we miss read each other.
Please do a git bisect on this repo. Based on your review the commit d403bc6abc9bd49b9f95d1ba647fe112519597dd is the working one. Upstream there are many more made. After git bisect offers you a new commit string, please replace commit=d403bc6abc9bd49b9f95d1ba647fe112519597dd with that new one in the PKGBUILD and recompile. Follow git-bisect process until you find the offending upstream commit so we try to find a proper solution upstream.
You may follow my bisect of linux41 back in the days.
09bdf5d1118b9ba8ce48fb8cf4528f024b218be2 is the first bad commit
Workaround: switching off one of the 3 monitors (the one connected via hdmi) temporarily solved the problem for me.
