Please describe your issue in as much detail as possible:

Additional context: I am using the i3 window manager.

When switching to another workspace and coming back to the workspace, the steam client window is partially frozen. In particular, I am able to interact with the small mode upper menus like "Store", "Community", "Profile". I can navigate the store and discussion forums without problems in this state.

However, when the view is set to "Library" the image is completely frozen and I'm not able to interact with any of the elements in it. Some of the buttons are still recognized because the mouse icon changes when hovering over them but scrolling or clicking any of them doesn't work and furthermore it doesn't provoke any reaction. The upper menus still work though.

I even managed to trigger this during startup of the client resulting in the upper menus being invisible but still interactable. When switching to views other than "Library", the view seems to work as far as I can see. When switching to "Library" it just shows a steam logo on a dark blue background and nothing else.

Steps for reproducing this issue:

1. Start up Steam in small mode.
2. Go to the "Library" view.
3. Switch to another workspace.
4. Come back to the workspace that contains the Steam window.
5. Click on an unselected game in the list.

Workaround

After the window is frozen following the above steps:

1. Convert the window to a floating window
2. Issue a small resize.

This refreshes the render and solves the freeze problem entirely as far as I can see.
