Steam Link

Steam Link virtual keyboard sometimes crashes the raspberrypi's streaming process and freezes it.
Your system information

Steam client version (build number or date): Nov 05 2021
Distribution (e.g. Ubuntu): openSUSE
Opted into Steam client beta?: Yes
Have you checked for system updates?: Yes
Please describe your issue in as much detail as possible:

Sometimes, bringing up the Steam Link virtual keyboard crashes the Steam Link stream process and freezes the stream, but the host's program continues running. Only way out is to ssh into my raspberrypi and kill it. It doesn't seem to happen on the Apple TV Steam Link app, though. Unfortunately I haven't tested it as much as the pi's because the Apple TV app is garbage because of non-technical issues way beyond Valve's control.

Steps for reproducing this issue:

Launch Steam Link on the raspberrypi
Press the Steam Link guide button on a controller to bring up the Steam Link stream menu
Activate the on screen keyboard by pressing the "show virtual keyboard" button
Sometimes this will make the raspberry steam link application crash.
This has happened across all my the host's distros I've used: Ubuntu, Kubuntu, Solus and openSUSE.

same here: it happens all the times when the pc gets awaken-on-lan and user tries to input his password in the windows login screen.

(this very use-case can be solved by using windows accessibility featuers virtual keyboard through the steamlink "controller mouse mode" feature)
