"New volume group" window: can't type in the "Volume Group Name:" field

I've created a LVM2 PV partition on my disk.  And now I'm trying to create the volume group from the menu option: Tools > Create Volume Group

It won't let me type in the "Volume Group Name:" field, and therefore I also can't hit "Ok" to create the volume group.

When I run partitionmanager with a terminal open to view its text output, this error message comes up every single time I press a key in the field (but no characters appear in the text field):

QRegularExpressionPrivate::doMatch(): called on an invalid QRegularExpression object

I've attached a screenshot of the screen I'm talking about.

I'm using: "partitionmanager 3.2.0" - installed from the official Manjaro repos, 64bit OS.

I'm not overly experienced with LVM, so please let me know if I've misunderstood something.

Just adding this in case it's relevant at all.

Also I should have mentioned, this PV is inside LUKS.  Not sure if that makes any difference?

Yeah, I already saw this issue and fixed.

Version 3.2.1 was released to specifically fix this bug.
Please ask your distribution to upgrade.
