When I click anywhere outside of the client my mouse will simply click. It won't multi select unless I double-click on a word, or click and drag. On the Steam client however, the first click I do will set an anchor point for the next click to multi-select from. If I try single-clicking a title and then single-click a different title in my library it will select both games and all the ones in-between. The issue persists after restarting Steam and changing tabs(say from Library to Store). I'll go hours without seeing this issue, and then it'll mysteriously stop.

Steps for reproducing this issue:

  1. Start Steam
  2. Use it a bit
  3. Go to 2

Part of the issue is that I don't know what triggers this. I will go literal days without experiencing the issue. I can't even consistently stop the issue. I've tried tinkering around with setting popup windows which seems to have fixed it once but then never did again.

Video for proof: (I only single click in the entire video. Every time I do(assuming I'm clicking in a valid spot) the area selected updates.)
