I downloaded the updated version 3.13.4 and recompiled. All looks like
working fine.
I have some other funny behavior now:
If I call simple-scan without sudo it does not recognize my scanner (Canon
MG7120) and given an error message.
If I call sudo simple-scan it gives me a message 'No scanner detected' but
lets me scan.
