So github attach doesn't work from firefox flatpak on the steam deck.

Someone who was to lazy to comment here had the same problem on a generic desktop opening steam in minimal mode.
I've let my steam store window open all night and was greeted with 7GB of RSS usage this morning.
It is cleaned up when closing the window and opening it again.
So it reeks like a standard javascript frontend leak.
When I have time I will try to monitor this in game mode, but of course game mode will auto sleep...
I do hope this is just desktop mode that has a javascript leak and not the deck mode.
I'm affected by the same bug on both stable and beta. It will periodically leak memory until it will blow up my memory and either begin to stutter assuming I can get to the task manager to kill it or lock the system hard forcing a reboot.
EDIT: It's not distro specific, I'm running Bazzite (Fedora 38 Immutable) on a Steam Deck and I'm affected all the same.
Nothing extracted yet.
Your system information
tar -zcvf ~/Desktop/steam-logs.tar.gz ~/.steam/steam/logs]Please describe your issue in as much detail as possible:
Describe what you expected should happen:
Switching to desktop mode should just be possible
and what did happen:
Switching to desktop causes the steam client to be active and visible on the taskbar only.
However, one of the steamwebhelper processes will eat up memory until the deck goes down, the RSS will be way over 8GB just this process.
In my case: at the end of the day it will die if I don't interfere.
Steps for reproducing this issue:
or:
or: workaround
So:
I'm not sure how to attach the logs, this thing called "dragging & dropping" is new to me if you have worked with serial terminals for a long time.
Note: this is an original SteamOS Main, no unlocks or other trickery.
