Does adding SteamDeck=0 %command% to the launch options in steam help? This sounds like that bug again, that isn't our bug, but something wrong in SteamOS or SDL.

That fixed the issue! Perhaps add a note to this particular engine, regarding this launch options fix?

There's an open ticket on the steamos repo about it, that should point to it being fixed in the future. I am thinking about enabling that for the client in general, but not sure if there's any bad side effects to doing so.
