Controller profile not changing or overlaping with the current playing game.

Your system information

Steam client version (build number or date): Mar 14 2022, at 19:49:17
Distribution (e.g. Ubuntu): Fedora 36
Opted into Steam client beta?: No
Have you checked for system updates?: Yes

Please describe your issue in as much detail as possible:

I have a controller profile to control the mouse on desktop mode, but when I launch a game (Portal 2 for instance) the controller profile doesn't change to the one from the game, or overlaps with it, making the game unplayable. Here is a video demonstrating the bug: https://user-images.githubusercontent.com/22626848/166223084-b0e3fa06-07dc-47b1-94ef-84787dde80fc.mp4

Just some clarifications:

I can see the menu on the game, it's just OBS that would not capture it;
While in game in the video I do not touch my mouse;
After quitting the game in the video I turn off my controller, which take a while, so you can see me struggling to move the cursor away from the upper corner;
And I've tried on beta version, which also have the same problem.

I have created this issue #8559 previous to this one, and you could say that they are related.

Steps for reproducing this issue:

Setup some controller profile for desktop mode, preferably one that the joysticks moves the cursor;
Launch any Steam game that supports controller or has a controller profile configured for it;
See if the cursor goes nuts.

Same on Arch Linux. Was literally working fine last week.

Just an update: As of the version build: May 14 2022, at 00:03:20, this bug seems to be somewhat fixed. The cursor still goes nuts after starting Portal 2, but after the notification that the controller profile was applied it stops. There is a new not-so-big bug that you can't go down the menu on Portal 2 using the joystick without pressing up first, it seems to be like some on-the-fly calibration stuff.

I've tested with native and proton based games, and all works well.

Unfortunately the bug #8559 still persists.

@joeknock90 could you test it as well ? 'cause if it works for booth of us we might as well close the issue.

Same build for me but I'm still having the issue.

Dualsense controller testing on The binding of Isaac: Rebirth mostly. Controller profile is still not applied for me.
