Please describe your issue in as much detail as possible:

The on-screen keyboard is inconsistently displayed when Steam is first launched in Desktop mode. Invoking it via Steam + X will simply place it near the center. Once Big Picture Mode is opened and closed however it starts being scaled correctly. This behaviour is consistent on Steam Deck, but behaves differently across other Desktop Environment.
