Description

When I have multiple monitors configured under screen using ewwbar, it gets confused during reload when a monitor is missing, resulting in this:

Got some eww debug output attached [here](https://github.com/elkowar/eww/files/6495248/debug.txt)

as for configuration, got it right here: [ewwxml](https://github.com/elkowar/eww/files/6495259/ewwconf.txt)
scss shouldn't matter but got that too just in case: [ewwscss](https://github.com/elkowar/eww/files/6495266/ewwconf.txt)

Additional notes, I am sitting on arch on Wayland, if you want anything about my system, please do ask me anything. Also, please have a nice day and a [hug!](https://tenor.com/HZmw.gif)

Research direction

Start by reproducing the reload with a multiple-monitor ewwbar configuration while one monitor is missing, using the attached debug.txt and ewwconf.txt files. Trace the reload behavior responsible for the confusion and define done as a missing monitor no longer breaking or misconfiguring the bar.
