After updating Hyprland today, there seems to be a regression with workspace created. I have the following rules in my config:
bind = $mainMod, 1, workspace, 1
bind = $mainMod, 2, workspace, 2
bind = $mainMod, 3, workspace, 3
bind = $mainMod, left, workspace, e-1 # also happens with m-1
bind = $mainMod, right, workspace, e+1 # also happens with m+1
workspace = 1, persistent:true
workspace = 2, persistent:true
workspace = 3, persistent:true
However, when I first log in, I cannot scroll to workspace 2 or 3 with mainMod + left/right binds until I go there directly mainMod+1/2/3. Then I can switch workspaces until the config is read again, either by changing a line (like adding a newline) or when the monitor turns off with hypridle.
Even the first workspace is transient unless a window is opened on it or I go their directly from another workspace with mainMod+1.
I think this may be a regression. Before updating, the three empty workspaces were able to be navigated to without first going to them directly.
As a workaround, I’m using -1 and +1 instead of e-1 and e+1 or m-1 and m+1. This is imperfect, as the first workspace is also transient unless a window is opened first. It also doesn’t cycle through workspaces, as before. But it does approximate the correct behavior.
