[BUG] Opening a new workspace does not display it in waybar

[ehula]

If I go to a workspace that does not yet exist and therefore is not displayed in waybar, it does not show that workspace in waybar. If I restart waybar, then the newly opened workspace is correctly shown.

}
}

To Reproduce

1. Observe which workplaces are currently being used and displayed in waybar.
2. Switch to a workspace not being used.
3. The new blank workspace will not be displayed in waybar.
4. If it is displayed, switch back to another workspace, then return to the new one. Eventually, it will not display in waybar.

Expected behavior
When switching to a new workspace, it should be displayed in waybar.

Hi,

Thanks for the report 🙂

I will check this as soon I can update my hyprland on arm64. I'm sadly stuck on an old version right now.

Please be patient.

Experiencing the same issue, runnning Arch and Artix, with hyprland 0.34.0 and waybar 0.9.24.

I have something similar if not the same, if moving existing window into another empty workspace it will eventually not show up in waybar. But if i open new windows in new workspace it works fine every-time.

I've run into the same thing. I believe this is caused by Alexays/Waybar#3830. I have a fix I'm trying to get set up: Alexays/Waybar#3878

I'll update this issue once I have the fix in Waybar.

+1 is happening for me as well. Guess I write a script that kills and opens waybar to prevent the workspaces not showing or did someone find a better workaround atm?
