Details

Hovering on any element with tooltip does not open anything but just causes the mouse pointer to move to the top left position of the screen. Currently the workaround is browser.chrome.toolbar_tips=false. We may want to detect steam deck and disable it until the root cause (probably the same one as in bug 1787939) is fixed.

Does it really cause the focus to be lost? Or the mouse position to be reset somehow?

Do you know which compositor and window system do they use? Does wayland fix this / cause this?

Oh hmm, good question. I said focus because that was the report I saw from Reddit, but having tooltip does not affect keyboard focus so I guess this is only about the mouse cursor position and not having tooltip.

The compositor in this case is Gamescope and it's using Wayland. I'm not sure there's anything we can do other than turning off tooltip as it's a known gamescope bug (the "fix" suggested in https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1787939#c13 also involves running gamescope in different way), which was why I filed it to Core: General.

To be more specific, the mouse cursor disappears but then the top left Firefox View button gets the hover effect.

This is fixed from Steam OS side.
