Ty so much!
Hello, it took a weekend longer than expected, but I believe I've ironed out all the issues with the PR now. Please test it if you have the time
To test
Run the following commands:

Nice work. I'll test soon here today
Will this repalce the existing flatpak? Is there a version string I can verify in the apps settings to confirm? I still see the same issue after going to desktop mode and runnign this on th deck. I can uninstall the old one first to be sure.
hmm now even in desktop mode it seems I can't open the dropdowns.
What happens on Steam Deck now in/out of desktop mode, is a blue border flashes around the drop down. Before, the cursor would just disappear

this will install a flatpak build on different branch

make sure the Heroic you run is ran with
--branch=master
parameter
check the command line options in your steam shortcut
it probably is set to --branch=stable
like-goldOP•7mo ago
It had no args, I uninstalled the entire thing anyway as well, but trying. Be good to add the branch maybe to system information in Heroic
same behavior, hmm

It doesn't matter, given no global install exists, but I also added
--user
oof, corrected above to branch=master
Same behavior though. I can try later. Let me know if there's a way in system information to know what version it's on. Like I mentioned above, I did uninstall what I had completely before installing the master branch versiono.
I appreciate the help/effort no matter what.I'm also encountering some issues on my Steam Deck
I think having https://github.com/Heroic-Games-Launcher/HeroicGamesLauncher/pull/4146 merged would help here

approved it
Instructions above are now updated to point to the new run, hopefully that should work a little better
Okay, new list of issues on my end:
- Theme selector doesn't work
- Hitting B/Circle to quit out of the dropdown does not work
like-goldOP•7mo ago
Cool I'll try the new version so. Appreciate it
I've just updated the steps again to install a version with the above issues resolved
(it also fixes an issue with the actual select area getting smaller than intended, which you indirectly encountered in the video above)

@CommandMC now we're talking 🙂 works well. Tested each settigs menu and a game
B button indeed works well
great work 🎉

I'm having this issue currently and was wondering what the solution you came to was.
I replaced 'branch=stable' with the 'branch=master' launch argument but it hasn't helped
See (now pinned) testing instructions
passive-yellow•5mo ago
Just curious, is this at all related to the bug where typing in game mode will also spam the same letters? Or is that a separate bug altogether?
I wasn't aware of any such bug
The changes in that PR make dropdowns work inside game mode
passive-yellow•5mo ago
I should get around to opening a GitHub issue for that, sorry about interrupting this thread!
rival-black•5mo ago
Thank you! That fixed it.
