Unable to access Preferences

I'm using ThiefMD v0.2.7 on an Arch Linux 6.5.6 distro.

For whatever reason, attempting to open Preferences when using ThiefMD results in a complete program crash. I can still use the program normally, with every other function working as intended. It's only when I try to open the Preferences window that it hangs up for half a minute before closing entirely. I've tried uninstalling/reinstalling ThiefMD through yay, but the problem persists. The debug log only showed two errors, one of which I was able to manually fix [1]. The other error is:

(thiefmd:2256): Handy-CRITICAL **: 14:24:33.532: hdy_leaflet_get_folded: assertion 'HDY_IS_LEAFLET _self)' failed

I've been under the assumption that there's something wrong with whatever sort of cache or memory ThiefMD uses for user preferences which results in this, but I've been unable to figure out where that is stored nor how to reset it. Is there any way to start the program in a "safe mode" to see if things clear up, or is there some storage folder that I'm missing in all of this?

Thanks,

[1] It seems that the "latex.lang" file in /usr/share/com.github.kmwallio.thiefmd/gtksourceview-4/language-specs is bugged, but copying in a version of the file from a newer(?) version of gtksourceview4 cleared it up. I don't think it has any bearing on the rest of the program, but it might be worth checking out for a future release of ThiefMD.
