Please describe your issue in as much detail as possible:

Playing games in linux via Proton, Steam client takes Proton into account as another game and displays Proton in "Recent Games" shelf (on picture).

A partial workaround would be to hide Proton in game library, but this has unwanted behaviour. When Proton is hidden and i am downloading it on clean system, dowlnoad manager shows nothing in download queue. But network transfer rate shows that is something downloading at full speed. So hiding is not a good idea.

Steps for reproducing this issue:

  1. Install some Windows game in linux via Proton
  2. After downloading Proton, it will show up in Recent games

Desired behaviour:

1./ Proton should be masked-out from these "shelfs" like "Recent Games"
