Hi, sorry for the long delay in response and thanks for the report.

According to this gnome migrate to GTK4 extension preferences, so this means that first I will need to rewrite the old version of preferences, and then also make it compatible with old versions of gnome.

The fix will be released with a new large patch, I will not release hotfix for this. since I don’t see the point in it, version 40 has not yet entered widespread use, and extensions breaks almost at the release of each gnome api update, so I'm going to solve the problem with the compatibility of versions so that in the future such problems can be solved faster.
