When navigation out from game page in library if B button quickly tapped then user is navigated to first tab of the library (Great on Deck) even if game page was opened from Installed tab. If B button is held then user return to correct page (Installed in my example)

Steps for reproducing this issue:

  1. Open any tab that is not Great on Deck in library (e.g. Installed)
  2. Open any game page
  3. Quickly tap B button
  4. User navigated to Great on Deck tab instead of previously opened tab

I can also confirm I've been running into this too, very annoying when I try to browse through my library and it randomly jumps me to the great on deck section when I'm looking through my installed games

Launching a game multiple times leads to the game info page being duplicated to the history

Please describe your issue in as much detail as possible:

Launching a game in Big Picture Mode / Game Mode will lead to a duplicate of the game info page being added to the page history stack. If you launch a game repeatedly, it can lead to the user having to press the back button multiple times before actually leaving the game info page.

Steps for reproducing this issue:

  1. Open Big Picture Mode or Steam Deck game mode.
  2. Navigate to the info page for any game.
  3. Launch the game.
  4. Close the game.
  5. Repeat steps 2 and 3 as many times as you like.
  6. Observe as pressing the back button does not return you to the previous page.

In this video I press the back button multiple times before it actually returns me to the library screen. This happened after I launched Alien Hominid HD multiple times.

I'm having the same issue as @Sterophonick. Multiple back button presses are required almost every time I'm done playing a game. It still works but it makes you doubt your sanity every once in a while.

This is a new steam os install as of two weeks ago, using the restore image from valve's site.

This has been fixed in the latest beta.

Closing per "Fixed an issue where after playing a game it would require extra B button presses to back out of the game's library page." in the 2024-05-07 Steam Deck client update.
