Your system information

  • Steam client version (build number or date): Sept 10 2021, at 01:01:56
  • Distribution (e.g. Ubuntu): Ubuntu
  • Opted into Steam client beta?: No
  • Have you checked for system updates?: Yes

Please describe your issue in as much detail as possible:

When I try to run a game (at least Outer Wilds but I have only tried a few games) instead of flashing a colored square then starting the game, it's like the game fights with big picture for focus. The game is running in the background, but I can't play it!

Steps for reproducing this issue:

  1. Start Big Picture Mode
  2. Start Outer Wilds
  3. Note that the game is running (with ps or top or whatever) but not in the foreground.

Note: This doesn't happen when I start big picture mode from xfce4. Only when I start big picture (automatically) from steamcompmgr.

I installed steamcompmgr-plus from source and it resolved the issue for me

Let's track this in the other bug since it has the more complete context:

To avoid any confusion I think @Plagman means to say #7966
