AFAIK the needed upstream fix on wyPython was this:
https://github.com/wxWidgets/Phoenix/pull/1849/files
merged into their master on Nov 18, 2020. I have no idea in which
wxPython release this will be/has been included.

https://archlinux.org/packages/community/x86_64/python-wxpython/
--> python-wxpython 4.0.7.2-5, Build Date: 2020-11-12
      ==> too old.

https://github.com/wxWidgets/Phoenix/releases
on Nov 25, 2020: wxPython-4.1.1
      ==> not yet packaged.

(Note that I am only guessing around here.)

Since I use Fedora (33) and didn't want to wait I contacted the
maintainer in Nov 2020.
They patched the package accordingly, added the aforementioned fix:
https://src.fedoraproject.org/rpms/python-wxpython4/c/f5471fb86aaae46a686b85c654fcbb98516355e6?branch=rawhide
and shipped the updated 4.0.7-13 RPM package right away, end of Nov 2020.

Maybe you could request to apply the fix also in the Manjaro package?

The packagers need to be aware of it...

Best,
Markus
