**Problem description**
Pretty consistently for some indeterminate time after starting Steam, the Steam main window GUI is not responsive. Hover over effects for start game buttons, header menu selection don't happen. Similarly, clicking on them doesn't result in any visible action.
However, when switching main focus to the pop-out friend GUI via alt-tab, and mousing over main window GUI elements hover over effects will happen. After tabbing back to the main window GUI, mouse will snap to lower border of the main window and start the click-and-drag/resize until there's a mouse click to exit out of the resizing.
In short, there seems to be something off with where the Steam client thinks there should be cursor focus as part of startup and carrying through until some unknown amount of time/trigger happens to align with expected behavior.
Hidden issue help text says to provide logs, but does not provide how to unlike requests to run `flatpak --gl-drivers`, etc. Happy to provide logs if pointed to how to get the desired ones
**Does this issue reproduce with native Steam**
