Description

According to @jleibs, calling ctx.request_repaint does not result in a call to App::update when on Wayland and the app is minimized (Hyprland placed on non-visible workspace).

Contributor guide

Research direction
Investigate the Wayland backend in egui's source code, specifically how `request repaint` is handled when the window is minimized. Look for event loop or compositor interactions that might skip updates.
