Some Programs and Games have a Menu Bar that you can pull up by moving the cursor to the top of the screen, usually for options. This function works perfectly fine on Windows. But with Proton, games don’t have it which can lead to functions being unavailable

An Example is Notepad, If i add it as a Non-Steam Game then set it to run with Proton. The menu bar at the top shows up in Desktop Mode, but in gaming mode it does not show up even when moving the cursor to the top.

For games with it, the menu bar doesn’t show up at all in both desktop mode and gaming mode. meanwhile in Windows the functionality for the title is perfectly available
