Your system information

  • Steam client version (build number or date): 1773426488
  • Distribution: Ubuntu (.deb)
  • Opted into Steam client beta?: No
  • Have you checked for system updates?: Yes
  • Steam Logs:
  • GPU: Intel Xe

Please describe your issue in as much detail as possible:

Right click a game in the Library's left-side game list. Click any of the buttons in the context menu that appears, either on the main context menu or in one of the sub-dropdowns. (or drop-"side"s? since they're dropdowns to the right side)

Expected: The action associated with the button you clicked executes, and the context menu closes.
Actual: The context menu closes. No action is performed.

Steps for reproducing this issue

Trivial:

  1. Open Steam.
  2. Right-click a game in your library.
  3. Click one of the buttons in the context menu.
  4. It probably won't work, and it didn't for me. If it does work immediately, try again.
Additional Information

This isn't a hardware issue: issue occurs both when using the touchpad and an external mouse.

(Note: this also occurs in the non-search view. I just used the search so I could find the game to unhide it.)
