Steam context menus spontaneously creating many non-responsive windows in sway

Open Tacklebox opened this issue 1 year ago • 1 comments

After several hours of inactivity, there appear to be many unresponsive windows being generated by steam. This has not happened in my previous install with gnome, But I do not know for sure if the bug is in sway itself or steam?

Please fill out the following:

  • Sway Version: sway version 1.9

  • Debug Log: I don't know exactly how to make it happen quickly enough to get a usefull log, it happens after several hours of inactivity.

  • Configuration File: It happened with the default config. The only change I have made is switching the default term to "wezterm", but it happened before I did that as well.

  • Description: After several hours of not using my computer I returned to see a ton of windows open from steam with seemingly all of the context menus from steam and a separate window with the store page. They don't respond to the sway close shortcut and I need to kill steam from a terminal.

This sounds like an upstream Steam issue.
