Backtrace looks somewhat similar to that issue: https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gtk-mac-integration/-/merge_requests/6

It’s not exactly the same, but I suspect it’s still locale/encoding-related and probably another bug in GTK stack…

Thanks, a user on another channel solved the problem for me. I had to delete the darktable configuration folder that remained even if I uninstalled the program. It was corrupt. Darktable created a new one and everything was resolved. I thank you.
