I have discovered a rare formating error that occurs when a url is in a chat box and the url is the exact width of the chat window contents.
formatting error
The formating error does not occur with 1 pixel width added to the chat window, and I was able to get it to reproduce itself when resized back to the first width.
format error gone with 1 pixel width

The additional underlined text brought the main steam client to the foreground and displayed the user profile page.
