  • Opted into Steam client beta?: Yes
  • Have you checked for system updates?: Yes

When clicking "Show on disk" in the screenshot uploader window my file manager appears and shows me the directory with the screenshots in but I can't click on anything at all. To use the desktop again I need to start a terminal using the keyboard shortcuts and kill my file manager from the command line. This kills the file manager and then steam opens the screenshot folder in Firefox instead.
My default file manager is Thunar
It seems like steam is waiting for the file manager to exit before doing anything else, but at the same time taking control of the whole desktop.

I'm sure this bug has been reported before, but I can't find the bug report.

Hello @af7567, you previously reported this at #4727 and closed it in favor of #5090. Has anything changed in your assessment?

Ah thanks, I was just looking at open issues :)
Nothing has changed, it is still the same bug described in #5090
