Waybar not visible after mirroring and unmirroring a display

[Jan-Aarela]

Description

Trying to create a script that toggles monitor mode to either mirrored and normal.
After setting a monitor as mirror and then back to normal using hyprctl commands, waybar not is no longer visible.

Also, executing waybar after doing that, creates a new waybar instance but only visible on the monitor that hasn't gone through mirroring and unmirroring.

Steps to reproduce

hyprctl keyword monitor HDMI-A-1, preferred, auto, 1
hyprctl keyword monitor HDMI-A-1, preferred, auto, 1, mirror eDP-1
hyprctl keyword monitor HDMI-A-1, preferred, auto, 1

Workaround

Disabling and re-enabling monitor with hyprctl. With a pause (eg. sleep 1) between hyprctl commands.
Not ideal solution since this makes monitor go black for duration of a pause.

Exactly the same problem here. When a get back to normal after mirroring, Waybar does not seem to be notified of the monitor status change.

I also lost my waybar while experimenting with mirroring configs. To restore it, I tried disabling and reenabling the monitor with hyprctl, but this did not work:

hyprctl dispatch dpms off eDP-2; sleep 2; hyprctl dispatch dpms on eDP-2

While my display faded off and then on, my Waybar did not reappear.

I also lose the waybar every time after mirroring.
I managed to get it back with

hyprctl keyword monitor "DP-1,disable"
hyprctl keyword monitor "DP-1, 2560x1440@144, 2560x0, auto"

(Alternatively, I can also physically turn my monitor off and back on to get waybar back)
