[BUG] Persistent Workspace Swiping does not work

[michaelphagen]

Describe the bug Swiping through workspaces only swipes to those that have windows, indicating that workspaces are not persistent

To Reproduce Steps to reproduce the behavior:

1. Add workspace = r[1-4], persistent:true to the end of ~/.config/hypr/hyprland.conf
2. try swiping between workspaces, which stops at the
3. enter hyprctl workspaces in terminal
4. See

workspace ID 1 (1) on monitor eDP-1:
	monitorID: 0
	windows: 2
	hasfullscreen: 0
	lastwindow: 0x55b950d2b490
	lastwindowtitle: ~

With no persistent flag

Expected behavior Setting workspaces to persistent should allow swiping between them even when there is no window

Distribution (please complete the following information): Fedora 41

Additional context Perhaps I'm missing something, but I've gone through the hyprland docs and think I'm doing this right.

@michaelphagen Not sure but it could be that this is the expected behavior of Hyprland. You have checked the docu on hyprland wiki?

It does seem that it should work, my assumption is that there is something in the ml4w config that is creating the persistent workspaces in a different way than the wayland docs reference. I'm able to mostly get it working by setting workspace_swipe_use_r and workspace_swipe_create_new to true, but I only want to swipe through the 4 workspaces I've set in the ml4w config, I don't want swiping to create new workspaces. If I just set workspace_swipe_create_new to false it does not swipe through the 4 workspaces I've set in waybar.
