Your system information

  • Steam client version (build number or date): 1719420706
  • Distribution (e.g. Ubuntu): Arch Linux (KDE Plasma Wayland 6.1.0)
  • Opted into Steam client beta?: Yes
  • Have you checked for system updates?: Yes
  • Steam Logs: Not sure if relevant here, but I can provide if necessary
  • GPU: AMD 7900XTX

Please describe your issue in as much detail as possible:

The UI for the Game Recording Timeline can only partially be interacted with. On a 150% scaled display on KDE Plasma Wayland 6.1.0, only about half of the timeline recording works.

When moving to a regular non-scaled 1080p display, more of the UI is interactable (I can use the playback controls but not the "Clip" button) but there still seems to be a cutoff on this UI element.

Other parts of the Steam Overlay do not exhibit this issue, such as the Screenshot Manager and Web Browser.

Steps for reproducing this issue:

  1. Run Steam from the commandline in order for the Steam Overlay to work
  2. Enable the Game Recording feature
  3. Start a game with the Steam Overlay activve
  4. When in-game, activate the Game Recording timeline
  5. Only part of the UI can be interacted with.

Can confirm on XFCE. Only the top two quarters of the timeline block react to the cursor. Buttons and items do not respond to pointing and clicking. The pop-up window when the menu item "Game Recording" is clicked also opens a window unavailable for any interaction.

Same issue. 1440p screen. Played a little with monitor scaling and still can't interact. Overall steam overlay has issues with wayland scaling but that is for another issue I guess.

I haven't had any Steam Overlay issues on Wayland with scaling outside of this one, at least here on KDE Plasma. I have been using a scaled display with Wayland on my gaming PC for a couple years now.

This has been fixed alongside #11126 as of at least the latest Steam Client Beta:

Steam Beta Branch: Steam Beta Update
Steam Version: 1729015347
Steam Client Build Date: Tue, Oct 15 18:45 UTC -08:00
Steam Web Build Date: Mon, Oct 14 22:56 UTC -08:00
Steam API Version: SteamClient021

I cannot pinpoint an exact Beta where this was fixed, much like with the linked issue, but it is fixed at least as of this current Beta.

Nothing extracted yet.
