Your system information

I have tested it on two devices, I'll list both here.

Device 1:

Steam client version (build number or date): November 17th
Distribution (e.g. Ubuntu): Fedora 43 Workstation
Opted into Steam client beta?: No
Have you checked for system updates?: Yes, installed
Steam Logs: N/A
GPU: Nvidia GeForce RTX 4070 Ti

Device 2:

Steam client version (build number or date): November 17th
Distribution (e.g. Ubuntu): Asahi Fedora Remix 42
Opted into Steam client beta?: No
Have you checked for system updates?: Yes, installed
Steam Logs: N/A
GPU: Apple M2, integrated graphics

Please describe your issue in as much detail as possible:

Devtools doesn't accept right clicks, and they are diverted to Steam's context menu.

This is a regression and should be fixed accordingly.

Steps for reproducing this issue:

Run steam with the -dev command line parameter
Open DevTools using the context menu on a store/community page
Right click the DevTools window of the store/community page anywhere
Steam's context menu used to access DevTools should show up

It can cause the entire steam window to face this error, so be careful:

If of any use, I can confirm that this doesn't occur on:

…so I'll presume that you're not utilising kwin-6.5.4-2.fc43.

Actually, @Buggem, I can reproduce this: It solely reproduces when one invokes devtools:// via //div[@class="_1n7Wloe5jZ6fSuvV18NNWI contextMenuItem"]/text()="Inspect Element":

https://github.com/user-attachments/assets/504db229-6944-41c8-b99e-ee102aa2eb52

If one, instead, invokes it via -dev's SupportsGroup(ContextMenuContentType::ITEM_GROUP_PRINT), the context menu is also GTK-based, and correctly placed.
