When I receive a new message in steam chat I see the pop up message warning in the corner of the screen but no chat window is opened. So if say, I make a snack break while on steam and go afk I have no way of knowing I received a message.

Steam has the following error message in terminal when I start chating:

Steam: An X Error occurred X Error of failed request: BadWindow (invalid Window parameter) Major opcode of failed request: 20 (X_GetProperty) Resource id in failed request: 0x4400110 Serial number of failed request: 152230
