Please describe your issue in as much detail as possible:

Hey there,
when I try to use the new big picture mode, it seems that there are issues with personal layouts.
When I create a layout and try to save it, sometime it works, and sometimes it doesn't.
When I try to remove an old Layout, that I don't want anymore, it also "deletes" a few other Layouts and also doesn't show the standard layouts anymore.
After restarting steam, everything is back again. As well as the layout I wanted to delete.

I thought that this might be a steam controller issue, but I have the same issue with an PS4 controller with steam input enabled.
Here are the logs from Steam started in a terminal:

PS4 Controller with Steam Input enabled Log: https://gist.github.com/TheLux83/8e65b477eac1f665f7d5b814da0222b9

I've also tested this with another computer and with an Windows 10 instance at everywhere it's the same problem.

Here are a few pictures to visualize the issue:

I also had this problems when there was the beta and I was able to use the controller configuration when I started steam with the -oldbigpicture parameter.

Steps for reproducing this issue:

  1. Create a personal layout and save this
  2. Try to delete a personal layout
  3. A few more layouts get deleted and also
