Assertion `CAIRO_REFERENCE_COUNT_HAS_REFERENCE (&surface->ref_count' failed.

I use a script to automatically change my wallpaper every 30 seconds and after a bit I get the following error:

hyprpaper: ../src/cairo-surface.c:938: cairo_surface_reference: Assertion `CAIRO_REFERENCE_COUNT_HAS_REFERENCE (&surface->ref_count)' failed.

Here is more of the log. Unfortunately I didn't pipe it into a file or anything so this is all I got:

[vaxerski]

can you share the script? Also are you on latest git?

[drnfc]

heres the script, I should probably improve it one of these days:

    INTERVAL=30
    wp=$(find ~/Pictures/wallpapers/ -type f | shuf --random-source=/dev/urandom -n 1)
    hyprctl hyprpaper preload "$wp"

    while true; do
        hyprctl hyprpaper wallpaper ",$wp"

        wp=$(find ~/Pictures/wallpapers/ -type f | shuf --random-source=/dev/urandom -n 1)
        hyprctl hyprpaper unload all
        hyprctl hyprpaper preload "$wp"

        sleep $INTERVAL
    done

As far as the version, I believe so. I am using the hyprland flake, I'll update just to make sure.

The issue has inexplicably gone away, possibly due to and update, so I'll close.
