Summary

"workspaces": [
{
"name": "I",
"layout": "Scrolling",
"layout_options": {
"scrolling": {
"columns": 1
}
}
},

This is my json, and when i use the start up of komorebic... or run the command komorebic reload-configuration it does not work... while if i open the json and save it... it fixes it.... i am not sure how this is the case but its been happening ever since the feature was introduced.
