News are visible for a moment when I click 'Restart Steam' in the pop-up;

If I close the pop-up and manually 'Check for Steam Client Updates...' the update window shows up normally, with a list of news.

Beat me to it. Noticed this today.

It did the same for me on Windows. You can move the window a bit with the mouse and the contents get displayed.

I have this issue too. I workaround it by closing and reopening or just opening Friends List.
It could be related to #6314

Still happening, but scrolling this window makes text appear.

weird.. last comment didn't update. I noticed the news did show up for half a second after clicking update too. Didn't try scrolling. Linux.

Nothing extracted yet.
