Description

if you change any of the VGUI ui scale convars (vgui_ui_scale_factor, vgui_ui_scale_height, vgui_ui_scale_width) and VGUI refreshes, the server browser's game filtering gets set to "All" and cant be changed, making it show all servers from all games on steam that support the feature

Research direction

Reproduce the issue by changing vgui_ui_scale_factor, vgui_ui_scale_height, or vgui_ui_scale_width and triggering a VGUI refresh. Trace the server browser's game-filter state before and after the refresh; done means the selected game filter remains changeable and does not reset to "All".
