Opening kitty from a waybar widget leads to empty unresponsive window

Hi, I'm not sure if I'm doing something wrong here, but this used to work a couple of months ago and doesn't anymore.

I have this line in the config for the waybar module:

"on-click": "kitty zsh -c 'sudo pacman -Syu ; paru -Syua'"

which works with konsole -e in place of kitty (which I've used as a fallback terminal for this)

Since hyprland added popups for unresponsive windows I also get those.

Did I miss an update with a breaking change for something along these lines? or is this a bug?

There are no changes to kitty that could possibly affect this. I suggest you use absolute paths for all involved commands. I am not going to debug waybar, but I can tell you that launching kitty windows in hyprland works just fine.

Thank you for the info, I'll check where else this could lie
