Ever since I upgraded to LTS 18.04, PCmanfm crashes every 3-4 days

I guess I was thinking it would be fixed, so I never said anything
here. (And, I guess I became used to it after a few months.). I
haven't seen anyone else mentioned it.
So, I'm wondering: is it just me? Or, is it low priority because LXQt
is superseding LXDE? (If the latter, isn't that problematic for an
LTS? If the former, is there some debugging i can turn on to see
what's happening so it could be reported/fixed?).
Thanks in advance! It's not a terrible problem. I could live with it
until 19.04 when I might make the upgrade to the Qt version if it's
ready for prime time then.
[1] I have to restart it from the command line using "pcmanfm
--desktop &disown"
Mark:
I have not had any problems with PCManFM, though I only use my 18.04
systems for testing, and for music performance.
There is a behavior of it that may seem like crashing (that isn't
actually a crash) though.
The default behavior in the case where it is showing a removable drive
folder, when the removable drive is ejected, is to close any tab showing
a folder on the removable drive. If that is the only folder (only tab)
being viewed, PCManFM terminates, which may seem like a crash.
I usually like to see if the removable drive is actually ejected (no
longer in the left pane), so I change PCManFM's behavior
(Edit...Preferences) so that instead of terminating any tabs viewing the
removable drive, it switches to viewing the home folder.
