Description

Your system information
  • Steam client version:6.4.3

  • Opted into Steam client beta?: False
  • Opted into SteamOS beta?: False
  • Have you checked for updates in Settings > System?: True
Please describe your issue in as much detail as possible:

Disabled Screen Edges settings altogether. Worked fine until recent update. Screen edges settings are still as I set them, yet the screen edges behavior is back as if they were set to the default. In the menu it reflects that I have deactivated this feature, but it persists to function as if it is on.

Describe what you expected should happen and what did happen.

Expected result: The setting remains off.

What happened: It did not remain off. Now I can't change it.

Steps for reproducing this issue:

Cannot give that information and it is honestly a guess that the update did it. I can make no logical causal connection between the things I have done on this machine and what has occurred.
