I think I've seen reports of problems with steam on its own X server - you might need to add a layer behind it unfortunately. Perhaps run it under openbox in a separate X server?
Sigh, I thought it might be the tiling window manager but it's strange because right-clicking on games and selecting menu entries works perfectly. It looks like the upper menu never grabs focus. I am currently running it in a separate X server running wmii. Fortunately I can still use Meta+shift+c to close it without killing it.
Dunno what to tell you, I'm not seeing issues on an openbox+tint2 stack and a full fledged KDE UX stack (both arch). Maybe it's just wmii...perhaps give another tiling wm a shot? see if it's tiling specific?
I found that my posting is a duplicate of another bug having to do with focus folliowing mouse as referenced in ValveSoftware/steam-for-linux#6. I'm going to close this ticket because it's a duplicate.
Nothing extracted yet.
The steam menu bar does not work correctly. While I can click on Steam, Friends, etc and the associated drop down menu item appears, attempts to click on the items in the menu do not register. In fact it seems to highlight the store behind it instead.
