Please describe your issue in as much detail as possible:

When I select any Non-Steam Game added to Steam while in Family View it should open the games page with the button "play". Instead i get the code-window for exiting family-view. Other than on DeckUI (issue posted by Maykin-99: https://github.com/ValveSoftware/steam-for-linux/issues/8656) ,without entering the code, the game does not start!

this can be worked around, by right clicking the game in the left list and chose "play" from the opening context-menu.

this behavior happens since somewhat half a year. worked before.

Steps for reproducing this issue:

  1. Enable Family View
  2. Add Non-Steam-Game
  3. Left-Click on Non-Steam-Game
