nwg-drawer crashes and falls back to default settings when opening/closing repeatedly [Arch/Hyprland] #190

Description

@SpeckledFleebeedoo

Repeatedly opening and closing nwg-drawer will after a few times result in a crash, causing it to fall back to the default settings.
Perhaps similar to #162?

Log file: nwg_drawer.log

Video demo:

Drawer gets started on Hyprland startup and config reload using hl.exec_cmd("nwg-drawer -r -c 6 -is 64 -fscol 2 -nofs -s hyprland-0.css -term foot -pbsize 48") and opened with the keybind hl.bind("SUPER + SUPER_L", hl.dsp.exec_cmd("nwg-drawer"))

Crashes require me to notice it, usually by it getting stuck on a file search for 5-10 seconds, then reload the Hyprland config to restart the drawer.
