Confirming that ‘cancel’ does not cancel the operation, whereas the window close button does work as intended.
I assume you mean you're clicking Games -> Add a Non-Steam Game to My Library... and then while the list is populating press the cancel button in that dialog?
If this is so, I can't reproduce this. Pressing cancel works fine for me.
@davidw-valve In order to reproduce it close steam and then open it again,then go to Games -> Add a Non-Steam Game to My Library
It only happens the first time you do it.
Do either of you have any more information on this bug? We are not able to reproduce it here at all with the given steps.
Pasting my system specs and my console log while i was recording the youtube video with the issue posted below, im clicking cancel and close button the whole time on the video.

It appears to occur in the lulls between adding entries, and when I mean lulls, higher IO load; from having a look at the strace, when its spidering ~/.local/share/applications/ and finding lots of desktop files (mostly entries added by Wine and which aren’t absorbed into the list)
Looks like its fixed, its no longer happening to me =D
Is this issue still active?
Closing as this appears to be resolved.
Nothing extracted yet.
When trying to add a game from outside of steam new window pops and it cant be cancelled until it finishes the search... and it usually takes a lot on my system.
