Steam Notification Causing Cinnamon Panel Lock Up

Rvzy · 2015-01-24 12:34:30

Hi, I've had very few problems with steam but whenever I get a notification it locks up the panel in Cinnamon and I can't click on anything until it goes away.

Has anyone else experienced this and are there any possible fixes? I haven't been able to find any information on it.

I'm running a basic arch system with cinnamon, open source Intel drivers as well as bumblebee with proprietary Nvidia drivers. As I'm not running steam with optirun the bumblebee thing shouldn't be an issue.

Thanks.

When you say "notification", do you mean like those "X is playing Y game/is online" or the "Game Z: Group A is hosting event B" notifications?

In my experience, the former disappear by themselves, whilst the I need to click the latter to close it. However, with the latter, I actually use the panel to bring it up so I can then close it.

So, I've had no problems with it.

X is playing Y, it's not that they don't close, they just lock up the Cinnamon panel until they do.

Unfortunately, Cinnamon has started freezing X with no explanation on my system, so I can't help you confirm or deny whether it's just you or me as well...

Anyone able to reproduce this?
