I bind my terminal emulator to Super + T. However, when i do this for alacritty i get an empty screen with only a cursor block like this.

This is until i open another terminal, or any other application that (it seems like) displays text. I run a quite modified zsh config, but even turning this and my alacritty config off it doesnt seem to do anything. I am running a modified kernel, but even on the regular kernel this issue persists. This however is not an issue on xorg.

All keypresses get registered, it just seems to be stuck on that cursor block until i open another window of anything. If anyone requires any more info, im happy to provide!
