Hello @streetpea, this reads like a Steam client issue instead of an issue with SteamOS as a platform, so I've transferred this issue report to the steam-for-linux issue tracker.

Should be fixed in next beta client update.

This is expected to be part of the 2023-03-15 Steam client update and the 2023-03-15 Steam Deck client update.
