Solved Glade loading issues

Not sure, whether this really fits the topic... I've got an issue with glade (latest version, also tried compiling from ports), which I can reproduce on multiple machines and I'm wondering whether I should file a bug or if it's an issue on my end.

Whenever I load a previously created glade file, I only get a screwed up project - all properties, all settings are lost. Labels have lost their text, boxes have lost their cell count - they actually get doubled. I can create content and save it and it gets saved alright, as proven by checking the resulting file. But once I close glade, reopen, and load the file, glade fails to interpret the contents correctly.

Simple example file:
Code: 
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<!-- Generated with glade 3.22.1 -->
<interface>
  <requires lib="gtk+" version="3.20"/>
  <object class="GtkApplicationWindow">
    <property name="can_focus">False</property>
    <child>
      <placeholder/>
    </child>
    <child>
      <object class="GtkBox">
        <property name="visible">True</property>
        <property name="can_focus">False</property>
        <child>
          <placeholder/>
        </child>
        <child>
          <object class="GtkLabel">
            <property name="visible">True</property>
            <property name="can_focus">False</property>
            <property name="label" translatable="yes">test</property>
          </object>
          <packing>
            <property name="expand">False</property>
            <property name="fill">True</property>
            <property name="position">1</property>
          </packing>
        </child>
        <child>
          <placeholder/>
        </child>
      </object>
    </child>
  </object>
</interface>

Loading this file results in:

The label has lost its text, box suddenly has 6 cells instead of 3 as before. I also realize, that the vertical layout got lost - apparently already when it was saved.

Is this a known issue with glade? Google did not produce any helpful results and I couldn't find any relevant posts on this forum either? When I start glade, I see a bunch of critical error messages on the console:

Obviously, there's some issues with object conversions, but I'm unsure how to fix this or whether it even can be fixed?

I'm running on FreeBSD 12.2p11, currently on glade 3.22.1_2. Anyone got an idea what's causing this?
 
Maybe try a more recent version of Glade? The one in ports (3.22.1) is pretty old (april 2018).

Edit: You say that you use the latest version (3.38.1) but the example file shows 3.22.1?
 
Ah, yes; you're right. I meant the latest in ports. Didn't yet realize there was such a big gap to upstream.
Alright, I suppose I might just as well get my hands dirty and work on a patch to upgrade that port, if the newer version fixes this.
 
Well, I'll be damned. It works with 3.38-2.
On the upside, I've got an updated port Makefile now. I'll run it through poudriere and post an update request for the port if it works out.
 
In case anybody comes across this and needs an updated port, here's the patch. The actual update in port may take a while, there being thousands of patches waiting and to be checked and approved...
Not gonna lie - I don't envy the repo maintainers sifting through all these patches in bugzilla.

259846 – [PATCH] devel/glade: update to 3.38.2
