I'm not entirely sure what triggers this bug, but it has happened in multiple scenerios. From uninstalling a game, changing a games properties, opening Steam settings, even for no reason at all.

This is been happening ever since I've used Steam on Linux, and have finally found some time to document this and post a xwininfo log and video of it.

When clicking a game, clicking another one will highlight all games leading up to its point. Its better explained in the video.

Scenerios mentioned above

pressing SHIFT fixes this, sometimes

i will say, this has been an issue for quite awhile
it doesnt have anything to do with typing in another window or steam tab
i have no idea what causes it

rarely the library becomes unresponsive and will not work
click, tab away, click, tab away, click, tab away
does work

why this regression?
