Jan 14th Steam Beta fixes Linux issues, a Steam Deck WiFi crash, View In Library added to Downloads page

Valve released a nice fresh Steam Beta (January 14th) for Steam Deck and Desktop PCs squashing some bugs and adding in some new options.

Thankfully, you can once again get back to the Library page of a game that is downloading which Valve forgot to add when they revamped the currently downloading item, along with an option on all games in your Downloads to have a View in Library option in the right click menu (nice!).

These changes are just for Steam Deck:

• Allow child accounts to adjust the brightness of the screen.
• Fixed a case where bluetooth devices would sometimes show as a generic device under Settings->Bluetooth instead of showing as their specific type (e.g. gamepad/headphones).
• Fixed a rare crash that could happen when scanning for WiFi devices under Settings->Internet.

While all these are for everyone including Desktop Steam:

General

• Fixed a stall in games after taking a screenshot for users with very large numbers of local screenshots (10's of thousands).
• Fixed Steam window being draggable from left and right edges when maximized on the Store/Community view.
• Added "View In Library" to the context menu for games on the downloads page.
• Clicking on the game image of the actively downloading item on the downloads page will now navigate to the game's library page.

Big Picture

• Fixed cases where repeatedly accessing the controller configurator in the overlay would leave extra instances of it in the backstack after exiting the game.

macOS

• Fixed mouse input to Steam Overlay not working for some multi-display configurations.

Linux

• Fixed a crash in the game recording viewer caused by unstable vaapi drivers (disable GPU in recording settings).
• Fixed a case where navigation menus stopped showing after closing a game.

Steam Input

• Fixed a case where the title of the configuration in the summary screen would break after making an edit.
• Fixed a case where inputs with multiple bindings would show up as \[object] \[object] after removing a binding.
• Fixed SIAPI trigger bindings sometimes not working when bound to buttons.
• Fixed Gyro as Joystick mode ignoring sensitivity settings.
