Your system information

  • Steam client version (build number or date): Mar 23 2021 at 20:11:07
  • Distribution (e.g. Ubuntu): Arch Linux
  • Opted into Steam client beta?: [Yes/No] No
  • Have you checked for system updates?: [Yes/No] Yes

Please describe your issue in as much detail as possible:

Should happen:
[Drags and drops]
[Prompts me if I want to upload the file, and shows me it's preview]
[Tells me 3458345 times that upload failed]
[File eventually gets uploaded twice]

What happens:
[Drags and drops]
[Nothing]
[I click on the clippy]
[Upload an Image]
[I navigate the mildly dreadful steam file picker]
[Have to change path to "/" navigate to my home folder and the file I want to update, because it is not possible to immediately go up an directory from the steam file picker into my ~ /home/dir]
[I think about how nice it would be nice if I could instead use my DEs native file picker, via xdg-desktop-portal standard]
[Think about how I miss seeing thumbnails from dolphin/kde file picker through xdg-portal-kde :D]

Steps for reproducing this issue:

  1. Drag and drop files from dolphin/desktop.
  2. Use KDE.
  3. Get annoyed.

Are you running Steam from a flatpak or other container software?

No I am running it directly from arch linux repositories.
Tried using both steam runtime and arch linux native runtime.

I updated to 5.21.4 kde recently:

I have now noticed that the steam window either doesn't receive the drag&drop event entirely, or it sends the event to the window below.
It is received by the window underneath.
In this very video case, the video underneath happens to be plasmashell, but it can be any other video.
