Hello @enigmatixator, this issue is already being tracked at #10895. Closing as a duplicate.
thanks @kisak-valve , that is indeed the same issue I was encountering.
for what it is worth, I managed to fix my issue.
I noticed that the nvidia gpu was not being detected by steam in its terminal logs.
running the following commands fixed that issue:
sudo dpkg --add-architecture i386
sudo apt update
sudo apt install libnvidia-gl-550:i386
it seems like primus and related packages also caused this issue, so I had to uninstall them:
sudo apt remove --purge primus-nvidia primus-vk-nvidia
sudo apt autoremove
my steam installation can now find the gpu properly:
$ steam
...

and the fullscreen issue is also gone now.
edit:
nevermind, it seems to still be an issue in wayland, I was temporarily testing with x11.
Nothing extracted yet.
Your system information

what did happen:

I tried both wayland and x11, but issue persisted.
