alacritty: Alacritty on ultra-wide monitor starts, but is not displayed if it is the only window on the workspace

System

OS: Linux (Ubuntu 22.04) Version: alacritty 0.11.0-dev (bb7b1201) Linux/BSD: X11, i3

Assuming you have an ultra-wide monitor (3440x1440) and are on an empty workspace in i3. If I press $mod+Enter to start alacritty nothing seems to happen. Executing pgrep in the gnome terminal shows that alacritty is running, it’s just not displayed. If you already have a window open on the workspace and then start alacritty, i.e. it only takes up half of the workspace, everything works fine. Other terminal emulators don’t suffer from this issue.

Executing alacritty -vvv moving it to an empty workspace and trying to move it back gives
