Same here:
- Arch Linux
- grass 7.8.5
- GTK 3.24.29
- wxGTK2/3 3.0.5
- system Python 3.9.4

After a 'd.mon start=wxN', the monitor comes
up, I can use 'd.*' commands to draw into it.
I can resize and move the window, and I can
interact with the UI elements in the icon and
status bars. However: When I move the mouse
cursor inside the monitor's map canvas, d.mon
crashes and closes its window (after a delay
of a few seconds).

I can then use 'd.mon stop=wxN' and start
the monitor again, with the same behaviour
as above.

Best,

Ben
