Hyprland settings either crashes or opens without variables

[Abraam2]

Describe the bug

1. When opening ml4w.hyprlandsettings from the terminal or from the ML4W sidebar, it crashes a few seconds later.

2. In cases where it doesn’t close by itself, when I press the "All Variables" button, there is nothing to edit.

Additional context

This error does not occur 100% of the time; it is relatively arbitrary. Sometimes after restarting the system, the app works as expected, but in many other cases one of these two errors occurs. In most cases, the app does not work properly.

Distribution

Arch Linux

ML4W version

I will check. It seams there is an issue with a keyword which maybe no longer exists or has changed. Which Hyprland version are you using?
