Please describe your issue in as much detail as possible:

When selecting the Universal Search or when entering a search query for the very first time (following a restart of the Steam Client or device), several image capsules will have the respective title's name written over it in generic text (this is usually only present on titles without any library assets such as the Source SDK [AppID - 211]). Navigating away and back resolves the issue for the previously observed assets, but scrolling down the results can reveal some more.
