Please describe your issue in as much detail as possible:

When taking a screenshot of a game while an achievement popup is on-screen in the corner, the popup no longer gets saved as part of the screenshot. I used to intentionally take screenshots at these moments to later show off that I got the achievement, and what I was doing in-game at the time. As of the last major Stable update, they seem to get hidden from the screenshot.

Steps for reproducing this issue:

  1. Get an achievement in a game of your choice while having achievement popups enabled
  2. Take a screenshot of the game while the achievement popup is on-screen with the Steam+RB (Deck) or Steam/Home/Guide/PS+RT (external controller) shortcut
  3. Examine the screenshot you took and notice the achievement popup is not visible

I see there is a new Steam Deck Client update out now, but the changelog didn't mention this issue being fixed and I didn't see another issue already made about this, so I decided to post one. It can be hard to get a new achievement on-demand to test if this still happens, but I will certainly look out for whether it's still happening next time I get one after I apply this new update. I have witnessed this issue with both Barony and Tiny Rogues, those are just what I've recently played and gotten achievements in.
