@msjr65 what happens when you run cinnamon-menu-editor?

[msjr65]

This is what I have shown under steps to reproduce. It is ending up with error AttributeError: module 'cgi' has no attribute 'escape'

[icarter09]

what version of Python are you running?

[icarter09]

@claudiux is this related to Python 3.2 deprecating cgi.escape() for html.escape() ?

Python Version is 3.8. Upgraded from 3.7 through regular pacman update on November 15 and indeed I have the impression that since then the issue started occuring.

Thank you @eli-schwartz
