[Help] Issue with on-screen keyboard (feddit.uk)

My on-screen keyboard in desktop mode has somehow become undocked and wider than the screen, making it hard to press certain keys which are half off-screen. It still works otherwise - I can open the keyboard by pressing X and close the keyboard by pressing L4.

I don't know how this has happened in the first place, and I can't find a setting for it in Steam. Any idea how I can reset the keyboard position?

@galmuth @steamdeck I have the same issue, are you on the latest beta? I think it’s a beta bug.

[-] MossyFeathers@pawb.social 6 points 8 months ago

I'm on the stable branch and have this issue, so not a beta bug.

[-] galmuth@feddit.uk 3 points 8 months ago

I am currently on the latest beta - I'll test the stable/preview channels in case that makes a difference.

Well, it looks like reverting to Stable seemed to at least partially fix it for me. The keyboard is still higher on the screen, but at least it fits to the screen width correctly. Thanks!

I couldn't find any mention of anyone else with this issue around the web or on valve's GitHub issue tracker, so I assumed it was something dumb I'd done rather than a bug.

Can you right click the taskbar and cascade/tile the open windows? Not sure if the keyboard will be affected or not.
