[Bug 1363603] [NEW] Steam client for Linux hanging on

 

Public bug reported:

Hello

I'm using the latest Steam Client on linux but the issue was the same with the previous versions
current version

built : aug 28 2014 at 03:25:10
steam API : V016
steam package version : 1409240101

Some timesn the Steam Gui seems to want to stay always at the first plan and every click on the mouse on another application (Firefox, Thunderbird, any others), also the Unity launcher is frozen; put me back on the steam window. I've contacted the steam support and they said :
"Steam Support is currently unable to provide assistance with the Steam for Linux beta client." I suppose than means they only supports SteamOS which I don't want to get, still fine with Ubuntu.

The workaround seems to be right-click on any app of the Unity Launcher
and select an option or, if Gnome Failback was instead chooses as
desktop, to right clink on an app in the app toolbar.

** Affects: linux-meta (Ubuntu)
