System info: sysinfo_steam.txt

  • Steam client version: 1468023329
  • Distribution (e.g. Ubuntu): Arch x86_64, Kernel 4.7
  • Opted into Steam client beta?: not sure, I don't think so
  • Have you checked for system updates?: yes

Please describe your issue in as much detail as possible:

While removing friends from the FL in the overlay, I expected a confirmation popup and the removal of said friend. The popup doesn't show, instead the overlay crashes but the game still works.

If I remove the friend from their profile (even in overlay) or from the out-of-game Steam FL, the error doesn't occur.

Steps for reproducing this issue:

  1. Start a game (tested with CS:GO and Race The Sun)
  2. open Steam Overlay with Shift+Tab
  3. open the friends list
  4. select one of them
  5. attempt remove via "remove this friend" in drop down menu.
