When uninstalling a game, the window that shows this process being in progress is mapped override-redirect which means it will be on top of everything else, cannot be moved by the user, and is ignored by the window manager. There is absolutely no reason for this.

Overlaps with a number of existing window handling requests but keeping open as a specific issue.

Hello @Mikachu, are you still experiencing this issue on an up to date system?

Yeah, and when checking just now, I noticed two more bugs,

the window asking for confirmation if you want to delete the game is also override redirect
while the confirmation window is up, the uninstall progress window is already displayed but shows "Uninstalling %game%" or something like that (steam crashed before i could check again).

Nothing extracted yet.
