Current Known Issues in the Steam Beta UI

  • Internet games tab in serverbrowser is slow with more than 1000 servers in the list.
  • Add a scrollbar in backup wizard when backing up more games than can fit on one page
  • Sometimes clickable menu items always appearing checked
    • Right click in games display to turn on/off display of columns to see this. All items always checked.
  • Text wrapping issue on labels, some text still appears to be cut off by a pixel or two (purchase case)
  • Pausing preload of RDKF didn't appear to work, still kept downloading (as shown in pre-load status dialog)
  • Some machines show squares when drawing empty columns
  • Add delete app in context menu
  • Pre-order now button on preload dialog should minimize the preload dialog, currently hides store
  • Support button changes to minigameslist, after going to mini-games list once
  • Purchase summary dialog has list going off the bottom of the page
  • Purchase summary dialog has "Steam Account" and the account name wrapping when they shouldn't
  • 'purchasing...' progress dialog doesn't have much room on the bottom
  • no progress moving when installing games( 'creating cache files' )
  • first-time install says 'updating', not 'dowloading'
  • If you have an out of date video card driver and try to connect to a server via the serverbrowser the command line is incorrect
  • All HL1-engine third-party mods are missing the last character from their name; Source Engine mods are not affected
  • Pause update from context menu, then launch game, context menu then says "Pause update" rather than "Resume update"
  • Starting up the SDK says "Prepairing to play Source SDK..." Saying "play" with a tool is.... weird.
  • Have a tab to the news page on the main screen instead of it opening a browser window?
  • If on the main window you move it so most of it hangs off the screen and then you click View > Switch to mini games list, when it does so, the mini games list appears off the screen. You need to restart Steam to get it back.
  • SDK has old style UI
  • Double-clicking the edge of a column in the Servers window resizes the column to the minimum width needed for the header to display fully, not for the longest cell in that column to display fully
  • Double-clicking the edge of a column in the My Games window tries to resize the column to the minimum width needed for the longest cell—but it's always about ten pixels (or two characters) too short
  • Unable to recreate but twice I have had a scrolling display suddenly jump back to the top of the page while using the mouse wheel to scroll down. Once in "Store" and once in third party mod list.
    • Ditto.
  • The "Valve Hardware Survey" dialog seems to be cutting off some text below the main textbox in the screen that shows what information will be submitted.
  • No keyboard access in store.
  • If your steam is on the secondary monitor the menu always display on the primary monitor.
  • Back button in Store window always active even if there is no "back" page to visit.
  • More then half of the last game on the list can be covered up by the bottom of the panel before a scrollbar appears.
  • Some third party mods read "Third-party" as the developer and have no link, others read "[ Third-Party ]" and have a link to www.steampowered.com from them.
  • Links to third party mod home pages should open up in the user's default browser, not in Internet Explorer.
  • In the update header on the new games list, some games have "News" next to them, and others have a square box. I assume the box is a placeholder for when news is actually created for that specific game, but using the box as a placeholder doesn't look right.
