what sway version are you using?
Also, what is the output of running this command?:

swaymsg -t get_outputs

that's really weird, the transform field is there

[enrico223]

I really have no idea why it happened. I am now on EndeavourOS and I don't have that problem anymore.
Could it be a driver issue? Not rot8 fault.

I encountered this today because of a "blind" HDMI output on my laptop (worked fine so far, I guess some driver-/kernel-/?- update added this output?)

N.B. I'm not trying to rotate that output, but rot8 probably parses all outputs regardless of which is the target?
