With umu enabled in heroic games launcher flatpak, steam deck UI (controller configuration, power menu, etc) disappears and the game is "always on top".

It seems with umu enabled, on the steam deck with the heroic games launcher flatpak, the steam deck UI gets hidden often. I can't configure controls while the game is open because the game keeps pushing itself to the top. Happens in any game with umu enabled.

Here's a video of the issue. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ouwR1Y0OxyE

The problem happens around 1:50.

Notice the Steam Deck's UI disappears when I start to select controller settings, and I can't bring it back up (the steam menu or the other menu). Also, I can only get back to the Steam Deck's UI briefly,by bringing up the virtual keyboard, but if I go back to controller settings or any other menu it disappears again.

I'm on SteamOS Preview if that matters. (but I don't think it does, as this doesn't happen with UMU disabled)

one comment, in the meantime (until the fix is released), you can bring back the steam menu and the power settings menu if you press Steam+X to open the keyboard, that will move the layers and will put those 2 overlays back over the game as a workaround.

the fix linked there fixes the problem
