ISSUE:
Steam In-Game Overlay appears to be broken.

OS:
Linux Mint 13 Mate (x86)

STEPS:

Launch a game from Steam library
Press shift+tab to open in-game overlay
Return to the game

RESULTS:
Keyboard and mouse are disabled after returning to the game from Steam In-Game Overlay.

EXPECTED:
Keyboard and mouse should work fine after returning to the game from Steam In-Game Overlay.

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION:
When the problem occures, any keyboard and mouse command including launching Overlay does not work. System requires hard reboot. The problem persists on many games including The Original Strife: Vetean Edition, Cave Story+ with the exception of GoldSrc games (Half-Life, Counter-Strike, etc.). The problem appeared with client updated of 7th and 8th October 2015 and keeps going on with the client update of 14th October 2015; both stable and beta versions of the client are affected by the bug.

There's been trouble in the past with tr_TR.UTF-8, can you do a test by closing steam, then run LANG=C steam and test a game.

Rrea987 2015-10-15 github

@Tele42 Unfortunately no difference. For the second attemp; I additionally alt+tab AFTER shift+tab to return the terminal instead of the game in order to save the output. The lines before "Killed" is the full output until I opened the overlay. Killed indicates that I killed the running and already keyboard/mouse locked game by using mate-system-monitor. I immediately quit Steam afterwards. BTW, my keyboard layout is US English.

I am having this bug also.
I am using Linux Mint 17.2 Cinnamon 64-bit (ubuntu 14.04).
Block Keyboard and Mouse after the first time you use overlay. The only way i found is CTRL + F1 and killing the game process.

Rrea987 2015-10-25 github

As it turned out Unity engine games such as Canabalt and Gravity Badgers are not affected by the Steam Overlay bug. As 25th October 2015, the bug has not been fixed.

We're seeing this as well on Debian Jessie and Ubuntu 12.04 (Both 64bit installs running 32bit game). Tried the LANG=C to no effect also.

In full screen bringing the overlay up and dismissing appears to prevent mouse and key input reaching the game. Likewise in windowed mode, although it needs to be brought up/dismissed a few times in windowed.

In big picture mode using controller button after bringing up and dismissing a few times, the overlay eventually remains on and will not dismiss nor take any input. Moving controller makes sounds as though you're selecting new items though.

We have not been able to recreate it on SteamOS using the controller to toggle the overlay as of yet.

I'll update once we've done more testing.

Killing Floor 1 experiences the same problem.

Can people affected by this issue run Steam with the STEAM_OVERLAY_LOGGING environment variable set to 1, and attach /tmp/gameoverlayrenderer.log after running into the issue?

Hello, is anyone still experiencing this issue on an up to date system?

Rrea987 2019-01-19 github

It has been a long time since I issued that bug report and I haven't encountered recently. So, closing the issue.

Nothing extracted yet.
