I am on KDE and the issue reproduces but differently - the popup menu disappears but clicking into the region where it was drawn even when another window (e.g. browser or something) is opened leads to steam windows activation. Clicking menu again closes the invisible window.

So, I believe the actual issue is that when Chat is opened, menu where it was opened from is not correctly closed

I found a workaround: move mouse randomly around the main Steam windows menu bar, the window Friends list window then disappears again, I'm on Ubuntu 18.04 Desktop (Gnome WM).
