Steam client version (build number or date): Mar 17 2023, at 03:06:08 (API v020)
Distribution (e.g. Ubuntu): Linux Mint 21.1, Cinnamon 5.6.7 & 5.6.8
Opted into Steam client beta?: Yes
Have you checked for system updates?: Yes

#### Please describe your issue in as much detail as possible:
One cannot check or uncheck the "Force the use of a specific Steam Play compatibility tool" option in a game's properties after it has launched or has been closed -- requires the client to be restarted. Happens in both Beta and Stable releases.

Would also appear that the game property window cannot be closed if it was open during game launch.

#### Steps for reproducing this issue:

Start a non-Steam game
Close it
Try changing compatibility tool

Box appears "grey" and cannot be changed.

I can also confirm this, using an openSUSE Tumbleweed system on KDE, under Wayland.

Also happening here on a Steam deck - SteamOS 3.4.6

Edit: It seems that the Steam setting check box for Steam play to allow proton on non-steam games is getting reset any time you set an application. I was able to re-enable this check to make a change again, but it only works once and you have to do it each time you change Proton version on a non-steam game.
