Already known, discussed here: https://steamcommunity.com/app/353380/discussions/4/806846367620217349/

The short form is that it's an issue in Steam, not Steam Link, and the fix'll be in one of the next builds.

If it's fixed, please leave a comment

It is "fixed" inasmuch as code that fixes this is now in Steam, and it will turn up in a later build of Steam. (Not Steam Link.)

Right now, though, there's no immediate fix other than "wait for a new build of Steam itself."

depending on steam settings it can open bpm or steam overlay if in game

is steam overlay enabled for the game?
is steam set to focus steam on guide button press?

steam -> settings -> ingame
bpm enabled?

steam -> settings -> controller
'guide button focuses steam'?

FWIW, in this case the issue is *genuinely* a regression in Steam's behavior. A change to how the controller bindings are loaded in Steam itself caused the 'allow desktop mode input' flag to get cleared in one case when it should not have been, meaning that Tab would be eaten if Alt was already pressed.

The fix should have made its way into the Steam beta client at this point, but the main release client is still affected.

remote play together blocks desktop or any access outside of the game that is running

depending on the client, remote play can access desktop
link hardware, and android can give desktop access
