After Android Update, scrcpy goes black when tablet cover closed

I wonder if anyone else hit the following issue.

I'm on a Samsung Galaxy Tab S8. Previously, after opening SCRCPY, I could close my tablet cover (and presumably the physical screen goes black, saving power), but the virtual screen works as expected. But now -- I assume due to some Android update, it no longer works that way and the virtual screen also goes black. This is super annoying for me.

My current workaround is to just set the physical screen brightness to the mininum and keep the cover open while using SCRCPY. Anyone have a workaround for me?

Note: I have always run with "--stay-awake" and on the device enabled "Developer Options > Stay awake" option.
