This to me looks a focusing issue, but as soon as I bootup an external program, I can't in any way go back seeing the main interface. If I open multiple softwares I can freely switch between them no problem, but I'm still not able to interact with the store/settings until I close all the opened softwares.

Pressing the Steam/QAM button show the suppored interface that should have shown up for a frame before showing the side menus correctly.

I'll attach a video demonstrating the issue shortly.

Settings this time worked. In my previous testing this was not the case. Odd.

I'm not running SteamOS to be clear, but Bazzite. Just for your information.

Hello, sorry nobody has answered your issue. I can offer some advice like, have you tried anything but chromium? It could be an issue with chromium

Found the issue, it wasn't the client fault. It was a plugin for decky, BrightnessBar, that was using useComposition() incorrectly in React and for whatever reason was breaking UI rendering on top of a running game.

Nothing extracted yet.
