System information

  • Steam client version: 1688428930 (latest beta)
  • Distribution: Arch Linux
  • Opted into Steam client beta?: yes
  • Have you checked for system updates?: Yes
  • Steam Logs: steam-logs.tar.gz
  • GPU: AMD RX 5700XT
  • Desktop: Sway 1.8 (wayland)

Please describe your issue in as much detail as possible:

Desktop notifications (someone playing a game, sending a message, etc) takes keyboard input away from the focused window while visible. The window remains visibly focused during this. I think I've had this since the big steam client overhaul.

This does not occur:

  • when a game is open (i assume because notifications move to the steam overlay)
  • after refocusing the originally focused window
  • if the originally focused window is Steam

Steps for reproducing this issue:

  1. Wait for desktop notification
  2. Attempt to type in a non-steam window
