Your system information

  • Steam client version (build number or date): 1698260427 (has been happening for a long time)
  • Distribution (e.g. Ubuntu): Artix Linux
  • Opted into Steam client beta?: No
  • Have you checked for system updates?: Yes
  • Steam Logs: http://0x0.st/HyQE.tar.gz
  • GPU: AMD

Please describe your issue in as much detail as possible:

Due to reliance on webviews, the entire client keeps "restarting" occasionally, the most likely culprit being notifications. I concluded that the notifications are an issue since I had the client crash frequently as another chat participant was sending a message, generating a toast, and even more frequently idly when I enabled all other friend notification types.

The relevant log entries appear to be, similarly to the issues seen with notifications before this point:

[WARNING:xproto_util.cc(51)] X error received: serial xxxxx, error_code 3 (BadWindow (invalid Window parameter)), request_code 4, minor_code 0 (X_DestroyWindow)

Steps for reproducing this issue:

  1. Start the client
  2. Wait for a notification to appear
  3. Random chance of the client crashing

This is also happening to me, mostly when achievements pop up.
