Please describe your issue in as much detail as possible:

After July update, the top menu opens normally on click, but closes immediately if I move mouse down. For this reason I cannot get the Steam version from the menu, but it is the latest in any case. I noticed also that the second menu line (STORE LIBRARY COMMUNITY etc.) opens automatically without a click.

The issue started right after the summer update, everything else in the UI works fine. Window manager in use is fvwm 2.7.0 with same config being in use since forever.

Steps for reproducing this issue:

  1. Navigate mouse over top menu and open any by clicking
  2. Menu closes while navigating mouse down to menu items

Hello @liiwi, I suspect this is a newer iteration of the issue being tracked at #6.

Can you check if your window manager has a focus follows mouse setting and if it does, does switching to click to focus have an effect on the Steam client?

Hi @kisak-valve , thanks for the speedy reply!

I tested what I think are relevant combinations of the options (see below). Normally it's "SloppyFocus, Lenience, NoPPosition". I did try MouseFocus instead and then it again without Lenience or NoPPosition. In no case on any of these did I see any change on menu behavior. I also tested with ClickToFocus with same results.

---- from fvwm/.fvwm2rc:

## Otherwise wine apps might loose keyboard focus
Style * Lenience

# no app relocation by self
Style * NoPPosition

# Style * MouseFocus
# Style * SloppyFocus
# Style * ClickToFocus
