4 years ago Hello @stevethepocket, the Furthermore paragraph is already being tracked at #2685. Let's use this issue report to focus on the quirk with the notification message window.
OK, so when I get a Steam group event notification, a toast pops up in the corner and an alert-style window spawns pre-minimized, I guess? A new button appears in the taskbar for it, but I have to click it to bring the window up. This is, I think, intended behavior, because you don't want an alert window grabbing focus when users are in the middle of something. What's definitely not intended is that if I try to dismiss it without opening it first, by hovering over the button until the preview appears and clicking the red X on it, it doesn't work. The taskbar button doesn't go away, and now if I do try to bring up the window by clicking on it, nothing happens. It is, essentially, a ghost button, and can only be exorcised by shutting down the Steam client entirely. The same thing happens if I try to close it by right-clicking on the button and selecting "Close" from the context menu.
Furthermore: If I have a Steam window on screen (main client, Friends, Servers, etc.), manually minimize it, and then try to close it using either of the above methods, it causes the entire client to shut down. This does not happen if I use the taskbar to close a window while it is still on screen.
Let me know if you want video footage of what I'm talking about. I have OBS and kdenlive installed and kind of know how to use them.
Affected Steam client build: Most recent beta (April 1, 2020) and every other version I've had for at least a week or so OS: Kubuntu 19.10 with KDE Plasma 5.16.5 and kernel 5.3.0-45-generic 64-bit
