No notification display after monitor hotplug

[Emantor]

Running latest mako git, sometimes after a hotplug notifications are no longer displayed. The service is still running and seems to receive notifications, but no longer creates a visible surface.

My hotplug configurations mostly disable my internal laptop display.

I noticed that makoctl set-mode default resolves this problem. So apparently changing screen configuration or disabling the last screen enables some kind of dnd mode?

Hm, probably because handle_set_mode() calls reapply_config() which in turn removes the notification surfaces and sets them all to dirty which will recreate them in the next cycle.

Can confirm I have this issue on mako 1.9.0 and sway 1.10 after connecting to an external display and disabling my internal display.

This does also fix things for me, but I can't seem to figure out how to get sway to automatically run this command on display changes...

Should be doable via kanshi, it can run commands when the output configuration changes.

I'll have some free time in december to investigate this further.

In case it is useful for you:
I'm working around this issue by running the following loop in the background (in bash):

while true; do
	swaymsg -t subscribe '["output"]';
	sleep 3;
	makoctl set-mode default;
done

Probably this is not the most efficient solution but it gets the job done :D
