globalstatus/laststatus = 3 lualine disappears when floats are shown

[marcoSven]

I have set laststatus = 3 and whenever I open a floating window ( Telescope, Fterm ... ) lualine disappears.

My config for inactive_sections

inactive_sections = {
  lualine_a = {
    {
      "mode",
      fmt = function(str)
      return "-- " .. str .. " --"
      end
    }
  },
  lualine_b = {},
  lualine_c = {},
  lualine_x = {},
  lualine_y = {},
  lualine_z = {}
}

My current workaround is to set laststatus to 2 when I open a floating window which is fine when I only have one window open. However when I have multiple windows ( splits ) and open a floating window, all windows have now a status line ( obviously ) which is not ideal. I always want the "appearance" of a global status bar.

Is this the wrong approach? Can I have laststatus set to 3 and have lualine not disappear when opening a floating window?

Global status bar with window split ( laststatus = 3 )

Window split and open floating window ( laststatus = 2 )
My goal is to only show one of the "-- INSERT --" here

Single window and open floating window ( laststatus = 2 )
This looks good

I forgot to mention I use https://github.com/folke/noice.nvim with the "cmdline_popup"

I sort of solved it by conditionally rendering the mode

{
"mode",
fmt = function(str)
  local current_wind_number = vim.fn.winnr()

  if lualine_current_window_number < current_wind_number then
    return ""
  end

  lualine_current_window_number = vim.fn.winnr()

    return "-- " .. str .. " --"
end
}
