Please describe your issue in as much detail as possible:
When opening the Achievements page in the Steam Deck in-game overlay, the game header takes up half of the panel height. The large portrait sets the header height.
I expected a compact header showing the game title and progress summary with room to view several achievement rows. The header takes 224 px inside a 454 px column. That leaves 207 px for the tabs and list area. Each achievement row measures 88 px. Only one complete row is visible when the page opens. The header does not change height while scrolling, so only one full achievement and part of the next stay visible.
Measured on the Deck's 854×534 overlay:

This is not specific to any single achievement. Brotato was used for the measurements and screenshot.
Steps for reproducing this issue:
Launch a game that has Steam achievements. Brotato was used here.
Press the STEAM button to open the in-game overlay.
Select Achievements.
Open My Achievements and observe how much of the right panel is occupied by the game portrait and progress header.
Compare the available list height with the 88 px achievement rows; only one complete row is visible when the page opens.
