Your system information

Steam client version (build number or date): Oct 2 2019; 18:45:57
Distribution (e.g. Ubuntu): Pop!_os 19.04
Opted into Steam client beta?: No
Have you checked for system updates?: Yes

Please describe your issue in as much detail as possible:

The client ui becomes illegible after closing steamvr sometimes. Random icons, text and backgrounds are replaced with stretched out versions of profile pictures of friends. Both the main window and some hover over texts are affected. This could be specific to video card drivers (gtx 1080, version 435.21)
Pictures speak a thousand words:
unknown

Steps for reproducing this issue:

Have steam friends (I haven't tested without but the images have to come from somewhere)
Start steamvr, happened on both beta and stable
Open the library or other main window
Wait for quite some time, it does not happen immediately
Close steamvr by clicking the x.

Most likely a gpu reset on SteamVR's side.

Why would such a reset break the ui of another application?

The reset isn't just resetting something from the SteamVR software but it resets the whole GPU driver. That affects all applications, some textures can be broken etc.
