patchwork will get subscript out of bounds when using y axis on the right

[smouksassi]

library(ggplot2)
library(patchwork)
library(egg)
#> Loading required package: gridExtra
p1 <- ggplot(mtcars) + geom_point(aes(mpg, disp)) +
  facet_grid(cyl~ vs,scales="free",switch="both",space = "free_x")+
  theme(strip.placement = "outside",
        axis.title.y.left = element_blank(),
        axis.title.x = element_blank(),
        strip.text.y.left = element_text(angle=0)) 
p2 <- ggplot(mtcars) + geom_boxplot(aes(gear, disp, group = gear))+
  facet_grid(cyl~ vs,scales="free",switch="both",space = "free_x")+
  scale_y_continuous( position = "left")+
  theme(strip.placement = "outside",
        axis.title.y.left = element_blank(),
        axis.title.x = element_blank(),
        strip.text.y.left = element_blank()) 

p1 + p2

p1 +(p2+ scale_y_continuous( position = "right"))
#> Scale for y is already present.
#> Adding another scale for y, which will replace the existing scale.
#> Error in FUN(X[[i]], ...): subscript out of bounds

egg::ggarrange(p1 ,(p2+ scale_y_continuous( position = "right"))
, ncol =2)
#> Scale for y is already present.
#> Adding another scale for y, which will replace the existing scale.

workaround is to use egg ggarrange

(Deleted my comment as the similar faceting issue is fixed in the current version - this issue still occurs, though)
