Research direction

Start by reproducing the reported behavior with Ubuntu 22.04, Flatpak 1.12.7, and the listed NVIDIA driver, then compare Big Picture fullscreen behavior with native Steam. Done means the Flatpak version honors the fullscreen setting, or the issue is narrowed to an upstream or environment-specific cause.
