Error caused by screen change hook persists after deletion

The issue:

I am getting the following error with this config:

2022-03-21 19:06:13,176 ERROR libqtile hook.py:fire():L392 Error in hook screen_change
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/usr/lib/python3.10/site-packages/libqtile/hook.py", line 390, in fire
    i(*args, **kwargs)

  File "/usr/lib/python3.10/site-packages/libqtile/config.py", line 364, in set_group
    g1 = self.group
AttributeError: 'Screen' object has no attribute 'group'

I did have a screen_change hook defined previously:

@hook.subscribe.screen_change
def set_screens(event):
    subprocess.run(["autorandr", "--change"])
    # lazy.spawn("mydock")
    qtile.restart()

The error persists after deleting the screen_change hook and reloading the config

Required:

• I have searched past issues to see if this bug has already been reported.

yes, that also works fine without issues. however, i will try to rewrite my xrandr-tool to do only a single xrandr-call. seems favourable. thanks for your help!

if you still want to track down that race-condition, let me know. otherwise this is fine for me now. 😃
