Modifier-only release bind fires after other SUPER keybinds

[djelenc]

Hyprland version

v0.56.0

Is this a regression?

Yes, before Hyprland 0.56.0

What's the bug?

Since Hyprland 0.56.0, a modifier-only release bind also fires after using another bind containing that modifier.

Minimal example from my Lua config:

hl.bind("SUPER + SUPER_L", hl.dsp.exec_cmd("pkill fuzzel || fuzzel"), { release = true })
hl.bind("SUPER + 1", smw.workspace("1"))

Pressing SUPER+1 correctly switches workspace, but when I release SUPER, Fuzzel also opens.

Expected behavior:

• SUPER press + release: open Fuzzel
• SUPER+1: switch workspace only

This appears to be the same regression reported in #15568:

Other

• Hyprland 0.56.0, commit 7d4a3c5768d5a04c7b62e63265c82a3659529fd7
• NixOS, Lua configuration.

Reproduction steps

Make the binds as suggested:

hl.bind("SUPER + SUPER_L", hl.dsp.exec_cmd("pkill fuzzel || fuzzel"), { release = true })
hl.bind("SUPER + 1", smw.workspace("1"))

then why you are opening this?

[djelenc]

It was a discussion on a closed pull request and I didn't see a related issue or a PR. I just wanted to bring the matter to light.

[vaxerski]

did you check git?

[fufexan]

Not fixed on git.
