Your system information

  • Steam client version (build number or date): latest version at 2018, oct 2.
  • Distribution (e.g. Ubuntu): Linux Mint - Cinnamon
  • Opted into Steam client beta?: No
  • Have you checked for system updates?: No

Please describe your issue in as much detail as possible:

  • Phantom 64x32 window appears in the top left corner of the screen, when auto-login to friends is disabled and the signed-out Friends window is opened first.
  • It doesn't appear if I open another steam window first (e.g.: Library) and then Friends
  • Disappears, when I close Steam.
    the rectangle looks to be the same from this issue: https://github.com/ValveSoftware/steam-for-linux/issues/2170

Steps for reproducing this issue:

  1. set favorite steam window to Friends
  2. set steam to not sign-in automatically to Friends on startup
  3. restart Steam
    note here, that Friends window doesn't automatically appear (it does, when auto sign-in is enabled)

4a. open Friends window first through the Steam icon in system tray.
note here, that when the signed-out Friends window appears, the phantom window also appears in the top left corner

4b1. open Library window first
note here, that the phantom rectangle doesn't appear
4b2. open signed-out Friends window second
note here, that the phantom rectangle still doesn't appear

Hello @pttoth, can you check if the uninitialized window has the same properties as is described in #5584?
