New issue by TeusLollo on void-packages repository

https://github.com/void-linux/void-packages/issues/38487

Description:
### Is this a new report?

Yes

### System Info

Void 5.15.59_1 x86_64 GenuineIntel uptodate rFFFF

### Package(s) Affected

xarchiver-0.5.4.18_1

### Does a report exist for this bug with the project's home (upstream) and/or another distro?

This is not a Void-specific concern, it actually is a regression introduced by the upstream maintainer, as detailed here:

_https://github.com/ib/xarchiver/issues/148_

The maintainer eventually fixed the issue himself with this commit:

_https://github.com/ib/xarchiver/commit/5d18fd23e8242678dbe47c232bc60b47f8fd75b0_

Hence, a simple package update should fix this. 

### Expected behaviour

xarchiver-0.5.4.18_1 is a GUI-based GTK3 App meant to allow seamless navigation into supported archive formats, along with further tooling. 

Particularly, it is supposed to support mouse-based navigation, as to allow file/directory moving, and file opening with MIME-defined selected Apps, from inside its own GUI.

### Actual behaviour

Just install package xarchiver-0.5.4.18_1 and try to open any supported archive format, assuming proper back-ends have also been installed. 

Double-click with the left mouse button is non-functional, hence navigating archive-contained files and directories is impossible utilizing the left mouse button. Thus the left mouse button CANNOT be utilized to perform file moving, and file opening with MIME-defined selected Apps.

Workarounds are utilizing the middle-button and/or keyboards for navigation purposes, but this is both counter-intuitive and mostly defeating the advantages of utilizing a GUI-based App.

This is NOT intended, as confirmed by the upstream maintainer here:

_https://github.com/ib/xarchiver/issues/148#issuecomment-1145796302_

### Steps to reproduce

1 Install xarchiver-0.5.4.18_1

2 Open a format-compatible archive (Remember also to install proper archive back-ends), preferably containing at least one file and one directory

3 Notice how navigating directories, and manipulating files, into the archive GUI, is impossible utilizing left double-clicking

4 This is valid only when attempting to grab/open/move individual files and directories with left double-clicking. 
Left double-clicking actually works when utilizing bar-based tooling, while right double-clicking and middle-clicking still work as well

5 This is NOT by design, as this commit confirms: _https://github.com/ib/xarchiver/commit/5d18fd23e8242678dbe47c232bc60b47f8fd75b0_

A package update should fix this, given how the upstream-maintainer already fixed this. Relevant links have been provided above.
 
This is technically NOT a package request, but a BUG REPORT, since there's in fact a bug, confirmed by non-void users, hence why I did a bug report. 

YET, the simplest fix will require executing a package update from upstream. 

Thanks for all your work in advance.
