Please describe your issue in as much detail as possible:

The sorting combobox for the wishlist does not work (any more).
It keeps set on "Sort by: Price" and when trying to select another sorting with mouse button, this is activating the widgets from the wish list underneath the combobox list.

Note the "Search by name.." and "Options" all work correctly, so it concerns only this sorting combobox.

Note that settings->interface->"Enable context menu focus compatibility mode" has no effect on this (disabled or enabled).

Steps for reproducing this issue:

For example:

Selecting "Name" (at rightside) will activate "remove" of the first item on the wishlist
Selecting "Price" (at rightside) will activate the button, which can be either:
- "Play Now" for a "free to play" game
- "Add to Cart" for a game on sale
- "Coming soon" for a not yet available game

In all situations the sorting does not change.

Hello @usr0x01ff, this issue is already being tracked at #9273. Closing as a duplicate.

Uusr0x01ff 2024-04-09 github

Issue #9273 describes dropdown in game->properties, which work in my client.
(eg proton compatibility, language, controller, etc.. all work)

I only have an issue with the wishlist.

But #9273 does describe the same behaviour:
"The form controls behind the dropdown seem to activate through it"

Note the suggested workaround Shift/Alt/Ctrl+Click did not work for me on the wishlist dropdown menu.

What did work was in dconf-editor setting
/org/gnome/desktop/wm/preferences/focus-mode
to value "click" (iso "sloppy")

I guess it is indeed similar issue, but why the properties worked for me, I don't know.

Nothing extracted yet.
