Please describe your issue in as much detail as possible:

When opening desktop view the steam client and the dashboard seem to crash. The dashboard doesn't react anymore (I can still close it though) and like 5 seconds later the app I've been playing closes. SteamVR is still running. If I now click on the steam icon on the desktop it opens steam again with updating etc, so it crashed.

Steps for reproducing this issue:

  1. Open Dashboard
  2. Open desktop view

Hello @Zamundaaa, was there a 3d rendered window on the desktop (like the mirrored output of a VR game)? Does it work with a VR game that does not have a mirrored output like SteamVR Home?

I played Beat Saber so yes there was. In SteamVR Home it seemed to be fine (I got the desktop view, nothing crashed at first) until I wanted to start an App over the dashboard and then the Big Picture mode seemed to hang but that's probably a different issue. The dashboard was still reactive. Starting BeatSaber and trying again crashed steam

Had this happen yesterday, was just sitting in Home. Crashed a few seconds after. Mirrored output was on.

Update: Also crashes when trying to add a panel or view video

@lostgoat Is that the same code behind adding a panel with it in vrhome? Dashboard works but home doesn't, not sure if they are related
