Opening "Recordings & Screenshots" causes black screen
ISSUE
When opening "Recordings & Screenshots", the web page currently open in the Steam client becomes a black, empty page.

This does not affect the Library view, only web pages.
This only happens the first time after starting the Steam client.

OS
Windows 10
Steam Version: 1760657741

STEPS
  • Restart the Steam client (to ensure the bug happens)
  • Click on "Store" to load the Steam store homepage
  • Click on "View" > "Recordings & Screenshots"
  • Notice the web page in the main client window

RESULTS
The web page in the main client window in the background becomes a blank, black page which can not be interacted with anymore. The URL bar also becomes unresponsive.
The only solution is to load a different page (e.g. click on "Store" again).

EXPECTED
The web page should be rendered normally and not become unresponsive.

The URL of the main client window actually changes to this:
data:text/html,<body></body>

Opening "Recordings & Screenshots" should not navigate away from the current web page in the main client.
