I have the same issue (although my Serde message warns about a "trailing characters" in a different column number :/)

[gbataille]

@sebastiancarlos downgrading, then rebooting did the trick for me.

The code that is in the stack trace points to loading of a status-bar-tips.cache file. from the code, I seem to find that it should be in /tmp https://github.com/zellij-org/zellij/blob/204c41e63f5a134e2f371ee56e0fb29acea64672/default-plugins/status-bar/src/tip/consts.rs#L1

however I have no such file in /tmp nor does the error change if I create one and put garbage inside.

ok, so it's because /tmp goes to $TMPDIR/zellij-xxx. I found the file. I'm going to do a few tests

[gbataille]

well, I'm not reproducing the issue.

@sebastiancarlos I suspect that this cache file got some inconsistent data at some point the last time you executed zellij and it prevents it from restarting.

find the file inside $TMPDIR in the zellij folder that is called status-bar-tips.cache and delete it. that should do the trick

[wimstefan]

You could also try to empty ~/.cache/zellij/ ...

[arecvlohe]

Removing the status-bar-tips.cache fixed the issue for me.

echo $TMPDIR
rm /<tmpdir>/zellij-<number>/status-bar-tips.cache

[loarca]

I just had this issue right now, and yup, aparrently the status-bar-tips.cache file got corrupted at some point yesterday in my machine but idk why or how.

My status-bar-tips.cache file for reference:

{"zellij_version":"0.36.0","cached_data":{"floating_panes_mouse":1,"edit_scrollbuffer":1,"zellij_setup_check":1,"sync_tab":1,"move_focus_hjkl_tab_switch":1,"compact_layout":1,"use_mouse":1,"quicknav":2}}inal":1,"floating_panes_mouse":1}}

For me it was as easy as removing the last corrupted portion of the file:

inal":1,"floating_panes_mouse":1}}
