Please describe your issue in as much detail as possible:

I expect steam client to run flawlessly and not become unresponsive.
What I experience is that steam client hangs and crashes (closes by itself and reopens) constantly when opening new windows. For example when you are inserting a lot of game codes and open the "Add a Game" (left bottom corner button) => "Activate a Product on Steam..." several times in a row.

Steps for reproducing this issue:

  1. Open Steam Client.
  2. "Add a Game" (left bottom corner button) => "Activate a Product on Steam..." => first time usually is normal and you can enter key
  3. enter either some game key or just press Cancel.
  4. "Add a Game" (left bottom corner button) => "Activate a Product on Steam..." => either hangs for half minute (key entering field is unresponsive and you can't do anything. Not even move steam window) or crashes.
  5. enter either some game key or just press Cancel.
  6. "Add a Game" (left bottom corner button) => "Activate a Product on Steam..." => either hangs for half minute or crashes.
  7. enter either some game key or just press Cancel.
  8. "Add a Game" (left bottom corner button) => "Activate a Product on Steam..." => either hangs for half minute or crashes.
  9. enter either some game key or just press Cancel.
  10. "Add a Game" (left bottom corner button) => "Activate a Product on Steam..." => either hangs for half minute or crashes.
  11. enter either some game key or just press Cancel.
