Your system information

  • Steam client version (build number or date): Jan 16 2022 17:34:49
  • Distribution (e.g. Ubuntu): OpenSUSE Tumbleweed
  • Opted into Steam client beta?: No
  • Have you checked for system updates?: Yes

Please describe your issue in as much detail as possible:

Launching a game from the command-line with arguments while the Steam Client is in 'Small Mode' will result in a second, 'Large Mode' client window.

Steps for reproducing this issue:

  1. Set your Steam Client to 'Small Mode' by using View > Small Mode on the menu bar of the Steam Client.
  2. Open a Terminal Emulator and run a game with arguments, e.g. for Doom II you can try steam "steam://rungameid/2300//-warp 01"
  3. A prompt will come up, asking if you want to continue launching with the supplied parameters and a second client window spawns.
