Hyprland: Disabling laptop display (eDP-1) causes either render problems or crash

Hi, thanks a lot for the great compositor!

I have two external monitors connected via a docking station and I mostly don’t use my laptop display. With the following config, I get two empty monitors with the default wallpaper and it seems that non of the exec-once apps are run.

monitor=eDP-1,disable
monitor=DP-7,1920x1080@60,0x0,1
monitor=DP-4,1920x1200@59.95,1920x0,1

If I were to enable my laptop display before Hyprland starts, it works. However, disabling it while Hyprland is running results in a crash

monitor=eDP-1,3840x2160@59.997,0x1080,2
monitor=DP-7,1920x1080@60,0x0,1
monitor=DP-4,1920x1200@59.95,1920x0,1

Core dump is attached. dump.txt

I was disabling the monitor by setting the scaling to 0 instead

oh my fucking god, yeah I guess I should add a warning for idiots.

But when I disable my laptop monitor using the official docs method I still cannot run apps on my main monitor

share your config. ATTACH it, not paste.

no, hyprland finds the adequate refresh rate anyways. you can put in 60 and it will find the first within 1Hz

tested with a huge-ass OLED TV and a laptop, cannot reproduce. Everything works as expected.
