Your system information

  • Steam client version (build number or date): May 1 2020, at 02:16:11
  • Distribution (e.g. Ubuntu): Fedora 31
  • Opted into Steam client beta?: Yes
  • Have you checked for system updates?: Yes

Please describe your issue in as much detail as possible:

If the Steam Chat is offline (as it likes to be sometimes for some reason) but the "main" Steam client is online, clicking on the X unread chat message notification in the Steam client results in nothing happening. I propose that it should prompt you that you're offline and suggest to attempt to connect.

To be clear, this is what I'm referring to:

Steps for reproducing this issue:

  1. Have an unread message
  2. Be offline (in the sense that the only thing you can do is press connect in the chat list window) in the Steam Chat but not the Steam client
  3. Click on the X unread chat messages notification
  4. Observe that nothing happens
