Hello @ksinpoint, please check the contents of ~/.local/share/Steam/ubuntu12_32/steam-runtime/pinned_libs*, then move/remove the pinned_libs* folders so that Steam will regenerate them the next time Steam is started. If that makes a difference, then please list the contents of both folders, before and after Steam regenerated them.

You are awesome.

Sorry for formatting and all that, new to all this. I did also find steam-runtime.old folder in that file path and removed it along with the pinned.libs folders. Assuming it was a back up made during an update.
Thanks again. Glad to have the menu back. Was forced to logout to exit steam when minimized to panel.
Also, not sure how to mark this as solved.
Nothing extracted yet.
Your system information
Please describe your issue in as much detail as possible:
So, this started the other day, prior to upgrading to 20.1 but that is the version I'm on now.
Whether steam is open or closed to panel, if I right or left click on the icon in panel I get a blank narrow menu pane with none of the text that was once there. IE, Games, friends, exit steam. (see link for photo)
Anyone having this issue?
I have tried searching to find a resolution but either I have really poor search skills/wording, or its not a common thing.
Things I've tried:
-Reset panel
-Check for steam updates
-Reinstall steam (though only uninstalled through the apps menu so I imagine not a full uninstall with steam settings and everything being removed.)
-Different themes including stock
I am using official Steam installed from steam's website using package installer. Did not use the terminal or software store. Odd thing is, for the last month or so since moving over to using Mint full time, it worked fine. No major changes to my setup. So either a bug in the panel or something conflicting from a steam update. I don't know, I'm still fairly new to and learning Linux.
Thanks in advance for any help.
