Menus stop working in Game Mode after starting game

hi! i’ve been really enjoying using bazzite on my home theatre setup (ryzen 3 1200, rx 570, 8 gb of ram) for some less demanding titles lol. i did a fresh install last night, and i’m on the steam client beta so i can access my steam family library. i’ve been having an issue that’s been making it borderline unusable though! after starting any game in game mode, i can’t open the steam or quick access menu. and after closing a game from within its own menu, controls do not work in the steam interface. this is the case on both a steam controller and a wired xbox 360 controller.
also, my steam controller won’t connect via bluetooth until i open the settings menu and open the bluetooth tab. i don’t have to click “connect” on the controller, it just connects itself shortly after opening the page.
are these known bugs? are they fixable via any tinkering on my end? any input is appreciated :)
