Describe the bug
Workspaces no longer seem to be correctly removed, instead duplicating and showing as in focus still. This is known to affect Hyprland, has not been tested on Sway.

To Reproduce
Steps to reproduce the behavior:

Open a workspace.
Close the workspace and switch to another, or move the current workspace to another monitor.
Observe the workspace does not correctly disappear.

Expected behavior
Workspaces should be correctly removed when moved/closed.

System information:

Distro: Arch Linux
Compositor: Hyprland (git)
Ironbar version: 1.14.0-pre (29eeefb)

Configuration

Config

  $workspaces = {
        type = "workspaces"

            2 = "<U+F268>"
            3 = "<U+F120>"
            4 = "<U+F121>"

Maybe it has to do with fake workspaces that were added with favorite workspaces

I don't think so, as I'm not using those options myself. It's also very consistently broken and I've only ran into it recently after some refactors - think I'd definitely have hit it before. There is a chance a Hyprland commit caused it, but haven't investigated that yet.
