Performance-wise it was nice to have the old UI back... feature-wise not.
Glad this one is fixed.

Curious if this will fix popup dialogues showing on the wrong monitor. (friend alerts, the window, when you press the bell in steam)

I like Valve and they are generally good, but I usually don't really bother with reporting issues anymore, as they usually end up being ignored. They are usually good at responding to proton issues but steam issues do not seem to get looked at often. There was also those CSGO/CS2 issues that were reported and took months to fix which isn't a good look.
