[SOLVED] i3wm Steam focus

I've been using steam on i3 for a long time with no problems. Recently I've switched to wayland, but it was too buggy, so I switched back.

Now my steam window always gets unresponsive (mostly the library tab), whenever steam loses focus. The only way to fix it, is to resize the window. That's super annoying, and I have no idea how to fix this.

Remove xf86-video-intel if installed or enable some form of a compositor or disable HW acceleration in the Steam window settings
