Your system information

  • Steam client version (build number or date): Latest stable
  • Distribution (e.g. Ubuntu): Steam Deck
  • Opted into Steam client beta?: No
  • Have you checked for system updates?: Yes
  • Steam Logs: [generate by running this command in a terminal tar -zcvf ~/Desktop/steam-logs.tar.gz ~/.steam/steam/logs]
  • GPU: AMD

Please describe your issue in as much detail as possible:

In the dialog to create a new collection in your library, the text box loses focus immediately on launching the virtual keyboard, making it impossible to type without using an external keyboard or another computer. Even when clicking the text field with the keyboard already on screen, it still won't take input from it. The same issue also occurs with trying to rename an existing collection.

Steps for reproducing this issue:

  1. Navigate to Library > Collections
  2. Select "Create a new Collection"
  3. In the dialog that appears, select the text input box.
  4. Summon the keyboard with the X button. The input field is unfocused and won't receive any input.

I've had this issue for months. My workaround was to bind L3 to "Ctrl+V" (with V as a "sub" command, not "extra" IIRC), then type collection names into Kate and copy-paste them into steam with L3.

Nothing extracted yet.
