Issue

When trying to install a game under the default location (~/.local/share/Steam) I intermittently receive error:

Steam - Error
The selected filesystem does not allow executing files.
Please re-mount it with the exec option and then try again.

If I keep pressing back then next till the error doesn't display the game installs like normal.

Steps to reproduce

  1. Right click on game not currently installed
  2. Click install
  3. In install dialogue click next
  4. If error does not display click back

Repeat Steps 3-4 till error appears.
