I expected the UI to behave as it does on Steam Deck, but woe, my desktop has an NVIDIA card..

I couldn't get a screenshot of the menu corruption happening to the left-side menu, since I tried restarting BPM and that made it go away for the left side. The right side one happens more reliably.

Steps for reproducing this issue:

  1. Open Steam
  2. Enable GPU Accelerated Rendering and restart Steam
  3. Press controller menu button to open BPM/Open BPM through Steam dropdown menu (View -> Big Picture Mode)
  4. Press controller menu button to open Steam BPM quick menu or (Xbox) Guide + A to open quick settings
  5. Observe "window blinds" type corruption of either menu

I'll check if I have the same issue on the desktop UI.
