Having set up categories on both Linux and Windows (same games in same categories), I went to remove Splice from the "Not working on Linux" category while on Linux.

I tried the following two methods, both resulting in it automatically returning to the previous category:

  1. Right click Splice, select "Remove from 'Not Working on Linux'"
  2. Right click Splice, select "Set Category..." and uncheck the "Not Working on Linux" category.

The delay between removing seems to vary, but I've duplicated the issue twice, the entire time not going to a Windows install.

I can't reproduce this issue. Is it something that happens consistently or sporadically? You mention a delay -- are you saying that the game is initially removed from the category but then later reverts back to being in the category? How long does this take?

@davidw-valve The time seems to be inconsistent, however I've seen it happen between 3 and 15 minutes. I may close this as the Windows client is doing it now too. I'm not sure why, but on neither category, I cannot remove Splice from "Not Working on Linux"

Not sure if this is relevant, but I noticed something similar if Steam was left running on my Windows box while it was suspended - any changes I made to categories from the Linux client on another machine would be reverted when I unsuspended my Windows box.

It's been in position for a while now; it hasn't switched back. Luckily, other games (Closure, for example) aren't exhibiting this behavior. I'll close for now and re-open if the issue should resurface.

Nothing extracted yet.
