Describe the bug

Just follow up for issue fixed in #337. This happens when I have one empty workspace and some workspace with window. When I'm on workspace with window and switch to empty workspace, there is still title of last app in focused module.

To Reproduce

start new hyprland session with ironbar with focused module on
open any app with title
switch to empty workspace

Expected behavior

I expect focused module to be empty or dissappear on empty workspace.

System information:

Distro: Arch Linux
Compositor: Hyprland
Ironbar version: v0.13.0.r89.g08e354e-1

Configuration

Config

center:
  - type: focused
    icon_size: 16
    truncate:
      mode: start

Thanks for reporting, I completely missed that when testing.

I've just pushed a fix up on #340 that hopefully squashes it. I'm pretty sure Wayland should return results in the same order every time, but it does risk a race condition since the label is now cleared every time a window loses focus.

If you get a chance, can you give that branch a test and see if it seems reliable please? I'll be doing the same and if all seems good I'll merge in the next couple of days.

Sorry, I had been away from computer most days. Just testing current git and works without any problem, thanks!
