Hover over one of the primary context menu invocators - "Store", "Library", etetera.

Steam should move some distance downward subsequently, and later, its embedded browser view should become mostly unresponsive.

Is this an issue specific to my (our) setup? I still have it and it is pretty annoying, as the UI is close to unusable.

@fblaese, indeed, it renders the GUI utterly painful to use for me too. However, I don't think it's caused by anything that we've done that's unusual, because it occurs on both the latest versions of OSTW and Fedora 40.

Is it possible that this is related to wayland / xwayland?

The issue first appeard for me on some Steam Client Beta. Switching to the stable version did fix the issue, but it looks like the changes causing the issues were later merged into the stable version. So it is definitely related to a Steam client change, even if it might not be the root cause of the issue.

@fblaese, indeed, a version increase caused it for me. However, to my knowledge, this started for me under non-XWayland X (I was using XOrg X11 on OSTW, when I first reported it) although it certainly continues on XWayland on Fedora 40.

@kisak-valve, on that note, please add https://github.com/ValveSoftware/steam-for-linux/issues?q=is%3Aopen+label%3A"Distro+Family%3A+Fedora" to this too.

I am using Arch Linux, so this issue clearly is not limited to a specific distribution.
