Works for me, following the instructions in this comment: https://bugs.launchpad.net/thunar/+bug/242842/comments/7

Quoting:

A valid test would be to launch a terminal, kill Thunar, set your umask, then
re-launch Thunar from within that terminal session, then create a directory
using that Thunar process and see if it's permissions (shown using 'ls -l')
are appropriate for the umask you set.

I would like to request a re-opening because the bug is present in thunar 4.16.3

Steps to reproduce:
Launch a terminal
Terminate thunar
Set a umask, e.g: # umask -S u=rwx,g=,o=
Start thunar from the terminal
In thunar, create an empty file
The file permissions are u=rw,g=r,o=r

The expected behavior is that the file permissions are u=rw,g=,o=

The permissions are correct if you first kill the Thunar daemon running in the background.
