If I open any sort of subwindow in gamemode, be it renaming a binding or selecting a mode for a touchpad, it is possible to leave it on top of a game by exiting the configurator using the STEAM button

Steps for reproducing this issue:

  1. Open a game
  2. Go into the controller configurator
  3. Select to rename a binding
  4. Press the STEAM button to go back into the game

Result

The subwindow stays on top of the game

Expected

The subwindow should be dismissed along with the configurator

@kisak-valve Can you move this to steam-for-linux as it's an issue with the overlay?

Just for the record, despite changelog mentioning fixing a similar sounding issue, this was not fixed.
