Problem description The UI update I received today replicated the issue which forced me off of the Steam Client Beta, which makes several buttons throughout the interface, seemingly mostly or entirely dropdowns, do nothing. News items cannot be removed and settings like the Steam client version cannot be changed. As of today there is no interface option left which is not broken, and consequently it is broken by default upon installation.

Does this issue reproduce with native Steam Have not tested (yet)

It breaks the "Browse" buttons as well on the various steam menus.

I appreciate the additional documentation of what's going on, thanks!

I also discovered that the drop-down menus to move games into and out of collections to organize the library are entirely broken, and remembered that one of the major broken drop-down menus I originally referred to was specifically changing Proton versions both globally in compatibility settings and for individual games. The external app ProtonUp-Qt still works because it bypasses the Steam interface entirely, but it is not convenient or great to use.

Update: the UI issue is resolved by switching to Wayland, now that I can usually use Wayland without too many compatibility issues or crashes. I am assuming the Xorg-related issue will not be fixed.
