Touch Menu options are missing from latest stable update.

[Bedwyr]

Issue: Since the last stable update, the Touch Menu editor options on tabs General, Onscreen Display, Dead Zones, and Haptics are now blank.

Steps taken on SteamOS versions:

• Beta Channel, OS 3.6.21, 20241212.1
  
• Bug exists.
  
• Switching to stable.
  
• Stable Channel, OS 3.6.21, 20241212.1
  
• Bug exists.
  
• Re-imaging Steam Deck via USB C drive.
  
• Stable Channel, OS 3.6.20, 20241030.1
  
• Bug does not exist.

I'm refraining from rebooting but on request can update to see if the bug returns.

I've uploaded two sequences of screenshots to Imgur to demonstrate the Touch Menu state in a) Beta and then b) after re-imaging.

Ok. I guess I'm figuring out that this is probably the fault of the client? I didn't realize the OS and Client were separate. I decided to reboot and let the system update. So...

• Stable Channel, OS 3.6.20, 20241030.1
  
• Steam Version 1738026274, build date: Jan 27 4:50 UTC
  
• Bug exists

I was hoping there might be an update glitch that caused this, but nope. Letting the system update borks the menus. Now under Touch Menu, General, Onscreen Display, Dead Zones, and Haptics are all blank again.

One more update. I decided to go ahead and let the Deck reboot. This applied an update and I guess I misunderstood. SteamOS versions and Client versions are two different things. I don't have the Image client version number, but from the above update I can verify that it's clean. When I rebooted and let the updates happen, the bug came back.

Also cross posted to the new bug report:

• Stable Channel, OS 3.6.20, 20241030.1
  
• Steam Version 1738026274, build date: Jan 27 4:50 UTC
  
• Bug exists

Can confirm, I can replicate the issue if I try to modify multiple different virtual menus in succession from within my Master Templates.

Same here. Another thread with the same issue: https://steamcommunity.com/app/1675200/discussions/1/599642824002054433/

Edit: Latest Beta Update (from today) claims it fixed it. Can anybody confirm (am on stable)?

[Bedwyr]

Thanks for cross referencing. I wouldn't have thought to search for "virtual menu".

I'll look up the beta later.

I've applied the beta channel update and it looks like the problem is resolved.

I've noticed another small bug in how reordering touch menu items is displayed (probably something to do with ctrl being used in two different sub command sets) so I'll start a new topic for that.
