Your system information

  • Steam client version: 1696019606 | Build date: Friday, September 29
  • Distribution (e.g. Ubuntu): Linux Mint 21.1
  • Opted into Steam client beta?: No
  • Have you checked for system updates?: Yes, none avialable
  • Steam Logs: I will provide specific ones if requested
  • GPU: Nvidia RTX 2080 | Driver version 535.113.01-ubuntu0.22.04.3

Please describe your issue in as much detail as possible:

Since the Steam client's major UI update in August, I have been unable to use certain menus. Having opened a ticket with Valve, I enabled GPU accelerated rendering which solved part of the issue where I could not click links in the Workshop pages.

Currently, I cannot click links in the context menu that opens when right-clicking a library entry. In the image, were I to click "Properties," It would take me to Rainbow Six: Vegas 2, the library listing underneath the menu.

SteamLibrary

Likewise, opening the drop-down to opt-in to the Steam Client beta under Settings > Interface as Valve had recommended for a possible solution results in the drop-down simply closing and nothing happening:

SteamBeta

I have downloaded the steam_latest.deb and reinstalled / rebooted several times, find an obscure Linux Mint forum post detailing how to delete a certain cache file, and followed the resolution in this issue post, to no effect: https://github.com/ValveSoftware/steam-for-linux/issues/10084

Steps for reproducing this issue:

1a. Right click a library entry to open context menu
2a. Click a listing in the context menu
3a. Instead get taken to the library entry underneath the context menu

1b. Open Steam Settings, go to Interface settings
2b. Opt-in to Steam Client beta
3b. Click does not register, nothing happens

Appreciate the link, indeed it appeared to be part of Mint's focus settings as described in that thread. Thank you!
