There are a lot of issues with the labels in Steam client GUI.
For example in discussions.
Labels are slow, will not disappear and sometime overlaps everything.

I don't know, how to describe it. Look at this video:

This should be fixed in the update that was made last night. Please check for updates and see if the problem persists. Thanks.

I updated the client a few hours ago.

"Built Feb 1 2013"

No difference.

Sscottlu 2013-02-04 github

Could you please try to reproduce on Unity, Gnome, or KDE?

Cinnamon support is a work in progress still.

Thanks.

It's same on Gnome 3 and MATE.
Maybe it's caused by AMD drivers.

I'll test this when I get home (in ~4 hours) and see what results I get.

I'm unable to reproduce on my Intel Netbook/Xubuntu.

UPDATE: Just attempted it on Mint 14.1 with no success. However, I would like to point out that this is a duplicate of #1082.

After last update(s), the labels now do not remain on top. Also, it's a little bit faster, but still slower, than on Windows.
