OK, so this happens since the UI update, but I noticed it last week. I had some games installed, and I wanted to free some space in my hard drive.

I did the usual thing: right click on the game I wanted to uninstall, go to manage, and click on uninstall. Nothing happens. I do it again, and nothing happens. I try with another video game, same thing, nothing happens. It's supposed that a pop up window should appear to confirm my decision, but there is no pop up window.

I tried to uninstall Steam and reinstall again, maybe that do the trick. I write my username and password, I put my verification code, and I proceed to change my Steam parameters. I select Spanish in the drop down menu language... and nothing happens. I try to opt in the Steam beta, and nothing happens.

So, every time there is a drop down menu or something similar, it's like I'm clicking onto the void. The menu disappears, there is no message, there is no pop up window, there is nothing. So, I can't to almost anything.

Does anyone know what should I do? I'm using Lubuntu.

I don't have any advice, but I'm seeing bugs even in Windows. The right click menu in the system tray isn't sized properly so half of it is cut off and there's no way to select the cut off menu options, even with keyboard input.

I have to open up the entire app just to exit steam. I've seen other UI bugs too.

I think the new UI is nice overall but it's very buggy. Might not even be an issue with Linux, just a buggy app.

Maybe this will fix your issue? It enables the full right click menu without the "show more" garbage. I'm on windows 11 22h2 and it's working fine for me. Never had an issue with it that I'm aware of.

edit that I misread your message and this isn't really relevant at all to your issue. but the "show more" button is super annoying so i didn't delete my reply incase someone else is annoyed by it.
