Hello @esotericist, this reads more like a Steam client issue than an issue with SteamOS as a platform, so I've transferred this issue report to the steam-for-linux issue tracker.
that's fair, i struggled with which of the repos to put it in because i wasn't quite sure myself

Your system information
Please describe your issue in as much detail as possible:
one expects to be able to edit controller configurations fluidly, but it seems that with sufficiently complex layouts this isn't the case.
i found when editing the official no man's sky controller layout, it struggles to change between the various menus. sometimes it can take a couple seconds to switch between views.
the problem doesn't appear be any more or less severe while the game (or anything else) is loaded; i can exhibit the problem from a fresh boot of the deck.
i haven't attempted to by-hand assemble a layout of similar complexity, so i don't know if this is restricted to something in the no man's sky support, or a general issue. the fact that it occurs without the game running makes me think it's general, though.
as a further note, in one particularly alarming scenario while attempting to delete an extra command on a button the entire deck ui locked up. i had to hold the power button to forcibly shut the device down, as it was completely unresponsive to steam/qam interactions, screen taps, and other inputs. although i could hear the sound running in the background, so the game itself hadn't actually frozen, which implies the problem was localized to the ui, but that's hardly a helpful distinction if you can't restart just that.
