Steam desktop windows crash, can't be reopened without fully exiting and restarting steam.

Howdy all! When playing a game on Steam, the main Steam application window and the friends window will sometimes close themselves, and I can not get them to open without exiting steam using the indicator menu. Sometimes the windows will reopen themselves, taking focus away from the game. Could just be a steam bug, but I wasn't able to find any other info on it. Been having this issue for a while.

Try resetting steam with ujust fix-reset-steam this will not affect your games or saves I excluisively run the gnome builds and have not seen this

I'll give that a try! I've done that before and it seems to come back. Also have it happen on my brother's PC, using the same image. Still happens after the ujust command. Seems to also cause the steam overlay to restart? Very odd issue. x3
