Also the bug was introduced either in the Oct 2 2025 or in the Sep 9 2025 Steam Deck client release, used to work fine prior to these.

Doesn't happen in the actual stable version anymore, controls work fine.

Yes, seems fixed here for me as well. Closing for now, but I'll re-open with fresh logs if it happens again.
