The steam keyboard does not resize between changing portrait or landscape mode. The client keyboard size is set upon the startup of the steam client. See attached screenshot below as an example of this behavior on gnome wayland. I did not test other desktop environments or any X11 DE.

Steps for reproducing this issue:

1. Start gnome wayland on a steam deck without the steam client opened
2. Change the internal screen from landscape to portrait mode
3. Start the steam client
4. Confirm the keyboard orientation with Steam + X
5. Close the keyboard
6. Change the internal screen from portrait mode to landscape mode.
7. Open the keyboard again with steam + X

Workarounds

Close the steam client and kill all related processes before opening the client in the desired orientation.
