Please describe the bug
I tried setting up a polybar config and it works for works (sometimes) but it seems to segfault in random intervals. At first it seemed to crash in workspaces 5+, then I through it was crashing in in empty workspaces, but now it seems random. Moving too fast: crash, accessing empty workspace: crash, breathing: crash. I tried changing a few settings (like pin-workspaces, and enable-click), but nothing changed. I built the latest version from the master branch on Linux Mint 21.1

Steps to reproduce:

  1. Start polybar with this config:
[global/wm]
	margin-bottom = 0
	margin-top = 10

[module/customworkspaces]
	type = internal/xworkspaces
 
 
	pin-workspaces = false
	enable-click = true
	enable-scroll = true
 
	#ICONS
	icon-0 = 1;1
	icon-1 = 2;2
	icon-2 = 3;3
	icon-3 = 4;4
	icon-4 = 5;5
	icon-5 = 6;6
	icon-6 = 7;7
	icon-7 = 8;8
	icon-8 = 9;9
	icon-9 = 10;10
	 
	icon-default = 
	 
	#LABELS
	format = <label-state>
	label-active-underline = #ABE9B3
	format-padding = 0
	label-active = %name%
	label-occupied = %icon%
	label-urgent = %icon%
	label-empty = %icon%
	label-active-padding = 4
	label-urgent-padding = 4
	label-occupied-padding = 4
	label-empty-padding = 4
[config]
monitor = eDP-1
fixed-center = false
underline-color = #ffffff
border-color = #ff0000
	
offset-x = 0
offset-y = 0
radius = 5
height = 30
radius-top = 5
radius-bottom = 5
border-size = 0
padding = 2
	
separator =
dim-value = 1
	
enable-ipc = true
	
tray-position = left
tray-detached = true
tray-padding = 0
tray-offset-x = 145
tray-offset-y = 0
	
font-0 = "Ubuntu:style=Regular:size=10;3"
font-1 = "FontAwesome:style=Regular:size=11;4"
font-2 = "Iosevka Nerd Font:style=Medium:size=17;5"
font-3 = "FontAwesome:style=Regular:size=11;3"
font-4 = "Iosevka Nerd Font:style=Medium:size=18;4"
	
modules-left = customworkspaces
	
[bar/main]
inherit = config
width = 100%
	
[settings]
throttle-output = 5
throttle-output-for = 10
screenchange-reload = true
	
compositing-background = source
compositing-foreground = over
compositing-overline = over
compositing-underline = over
compositing-border = over
	
pseudo-transparency = false
  1. Switch between the workspaces a bit
  2. Crash

Expected behavior
Polybar shouldn't crash

Log:
The log does contain a bunch of information, but nothing seems relevant. I'll post if requested.

Coredump:
I tried running polybar through gdb and this is the backtrace:

hread 1 "polybar" received signal SIGSEGV, Segmentation fault.

Update: I tried compiling polybar from source (instead of using my distro's included package) and it seems to not crash now, however, workspaces 5+ only show up in the xworkspaces module intermittently. I enabled the mpd, network, curl, and ipc build options, and disabled pulseaudio, alsa, and i3. Same config as above, no longer crashes, but workspaces still don't show up properly
