Please describe your issue in as much detail as possible:

Describe what you expected should happen and what did happen. Please link any large code pastes as a Github Gist

The context menu for the code entering field is broken with broken theming and layout. It does not match Steam's overall theme like the other context menus after the ui update.

Also, if you right click on the text immediately above explaining the procedure you can also get an unthemed white context menu with "Forward" and "Print". Print calls up a Chromium print window which is a bit weird and i'm not sure if intentional.

  3. right click on input field

Latest Steam beta 1711147596 has fixed all of these

Closing per the last comment and the 2024-05-07 Steam client update.

@kisak-valve, these remain:

  1. Empty Context Menu Entrants

  2. Presence Of “Print” Context Menu Entrant

    However, I am less confident that this remains a problem, because it now works. ^3

I can no longer reproduce any of the above mentioned issues with Steam Version 1785799196

@iodream, I remain able to, in a later version (V 1787097529). It requires Shift + a click:

This is reproducible that it previously was.
