I can confirm this is still an issue.

Especially annoying since when I open a proton game and it doesn't work I got no other choice than to restart my system

Alt-tabbing out and killing it usually works for me, in these cases?

I can confirm this is also the case on Kubuntu 19.10

It would be great if the button worked, but for now I have a script bound to a keybind (Alt+Shift+F4), to kill all .exes:

#!/bin/bash
kill -9 `ps -ef | egrep '\.exe'|awk '{print $2}'`

Hello, is anyone still experiencing this issue on an up to date system? Most likely fixed by "Fix games not getting stopped via the 'Stop' button in the client UI (steam-for-linux#7435)" in the 2020-12-07 Steam client update.
