Double click to maximize/restore doesn't work either.

nVidia GPU on 525 drivers on Ubuntu, Gentoo w/535, Nobara w/525 or 535, Fedora 38 w/525, Arch w/535, all broken like this across the board.

I didn't have the patience to get the hit or miss results, it appears broken entirely. Cannot move windows.

Having the exact same problem on XFCE. For me it only applies when "-forcedesktopscaling 2" is enabled, but without it the UI is incredibly tiny.

Moving from the left side works, but nothing happens anywhere else.

Happens for me too on Gnome, nvidia 525 drivers, X11. The steam window grew up in size, and became immovable. No startup option is enabled, I have no Xorg scaling either (I do use the large text options from the accessibility settings), and in the interface settings the option "scale text and icons) is set to off. Resolution is 4k.

Can confirm this is still an issue in the latest beta.

On KDE, there is a workaround. KWin can be configured to have a global modifier key which you can hold and then drag any window by its contents. In my case, the modifier is the Meta key, so if I hold Meta and Left Click on the Steam client window (anywhere, not necessarily its header area), I can move it around reliably.

The modifier and its behavior can be configured in System Settings -> Window Management -> Window Behavior -> Window Actions tab.

I think all Linux WMs have this feature (modifier key for windows - meta or left-alt), but this doesn't work on game overlay Shift-Tab (which is also bugged...).

I forgot to add a note for it in the update notes, but a fix for this issue should be available in the latest steam beta client.

For the most part this seems to be fixed, but is for some reason still an issue in the steam overlay.

Cross-posting from #9161 since, as kisak mentioned, this issue seems more related to the problem I'm seeing.

I just freshly installed Steam on PopOS 22.04 (basically Ubuntu 22.04), opened it up, and then noticed that I have to grip the window to the left side to be able to grab it:

I didn't resize the window or anything. Just fresh install, open it up, and then record the video. Here's another video showing that it doesn't seem to be as simple as "right side is not grippable" because there seems to be a part at the bottom of the middle/right part of the header that is grippable (I'm clicking rapidly throughout this whole video):

I seem to be having a very similar (if not identical) issue with the current Steam beta (and have been for quite a while). Clicking the buttons on the top (and bottom) of the window works just fine; unused, dead space normally used to move the window does not, and the only way I can move/resize it is with the Meta (or Windows) key and dragging with left click (on DEs that support it). This applies to any Steam window, including the main, properties and chat windows.

This is a demonstration of the described issue, with a text editor underneath the Steam window to show when clicks "fall through."

It seems only the outer edge of the Steam UI is problematic and perhaps doesn't register as part of the app's window estate; the inside, and actual browser-esque interface, is perfectly fine and has no problems being clickable usually. Post edit: I wonder if it's a Wayland-specific issue.

On my side (Steam "stable") this issue happens on windows in Steam Overlay (Shift+Tab).

Scaling in use? Xorg or Wayland? Just guessing, but would think you have x2 scaling and Steam reacts only on the WxH that an unscaled window would have.. ?
