Hello @rehdi93, I expect that this is a side effect of the "safe browser shutdown workaround." You can try to avoid this issue by running Steam with STEAM_DISABLE_BROWSER_SHUTDOWN_WORKAROUND=1 steam from a terminal (from https://github.com/ValveSoftware/steam-for-linux/issues/9458#issuecomment-1613759526).

My understanding is that workaround is to compensate for a video driver bug and will need to stick around until the affected driver versions are uncommon.

Hello @rehdi93, I expect that this is a side effect of the "safe browser shutdown workaround." You can try to avoid this issue by running Steam with STEAM_DISABLE_BROWSER_SHUTDOWN_WORKAROUND=1 steam from a terminal (from #9458 (comment)).

What are the affected driver versions? Is it safe to disable the workaround with the Nvidia 550 driver?

To update (given that previous answers assumed this would be resolved as of Nvidia's 550 drivers): I am using Nvidia's proprietary drivers, version 550.100, and I am still experiencing this on X11 (without an environment variable set).
