Your system information

  • Steam client version (build number or date): [please fill in]
  • Distribution (e.g. Ubuntu): Lubuntu 24.04.3 LTS
  • Opted into Steam client beta?: No
  • Have you checked for system updates?: [Yes/No]
  • Steam Logs: [Attached steam-logs.tar.gz]
  • GPU: Nvidia GTX 960

Please describe your issue in as much detail as possible:

Every dropdown menu on the Steam client loads, but they do not respond to mouse clicks.

When I click on an option in a dropdown menu, it just closes and reverts back to the original selection.

Workarounds:

  • Using arrow keys to move through the menu and pressing Enter works.
  • However, some dropdown menus (such as the Settings button for games) have no keyboard support, making them unusable.

On a normal dropdown menu, when I click on an item, it instead selects the position of my mouse behind the dropdown, as if the menu overlay isn’t interactive.

Video example: YouTube Link

Steps for reproducing this issue:

  1. Open Steam on Lubuntu 24.04.3 LTS.
  2. Open any dropdown menu (e.g., language selection, game settings).
  3. Try selecting an item with the mouse → dropdown closes without changing the selection.
