Will not open if sftp is mounted but then disconnects

Version information

Thunar 4.18.8 on Mint 22 xfce

Steps to reproduce

1. Open thunar and connect to another computer by writing "sftp://[other computer's local address]" in the address bar.
2. Go to the other computer and do something to make it unreachable (e.g. turn if off, disconnect networking).
3. Close thunar on the original computer and try and re-open it.

Current behavior.

Thunar will not open at all. If I use another file manager to disconnect the sftp mount (e.g. caja) then the moment it's unmounted thunar then opens (i.e. without trying to open it again the window appears - as though the start up of the window was somehow stuck in a loop until the sftp was unmounted). N.B. I believe that even when thunar is not open it's still running in daemon mode

Expected outcome

It would be good if thunar opening would not be prevented by the sftp being unreachable.

Many thanks
