alacritty: Alacritty freezes in primary display when using in multimonitor setup

So basically alacritty windows freezes in my main display but seems to work fine with respect to the secondary display that’s attached to my laptop. Not really sure how to debug this as well. I have attached the logs as well. Alacritty-30743.log

Almost the same problem here:
Alacritty freezes on the laptop screen, but not on the external monitor. The laptop-screen is the secondary display (according to xrandr).

Might be important: The same happens with the Kitty terminal, but not with KDE’s Konsole, which is set to xrender, so this really seems to be OpenGL-related. It seems to happen more often/quicker, when using the Zen-Kernel (5.18.5).

This happens for me too, though only using X11. On Wayland Alacritty is fine. I mentioned some context in #4736. It takes a while to happen, but when it does, there is no repainting, just whatever was below the window when it stopped painting.

@CarloCattano you’re not using the latest git though. You need https://github.com/hyprwm/Hyprland/commit/f9c13b614c780c45933440ddecaaa57cc5f1cc12 commit, which is after the one you have in version.
