Steam -> Settings -> Interface -> Enable context menu focus compatibility mode.

Hadn't noticed that option before (is it new?) and was just about to go thank you for pointing out a solution to this by now very longstanding issue of the Linux client -- until finding out that it doesn't in fact solve anything for me. E.g. "Edit" on one of these own replies still does absolutely nothing from the Linux client (on an Ubuntu 22.04 LTS base system using Xfce at least).

¯\_(ツ)_/¯
