Steam Flatpak interface randomly freezes (lemmy.world)

I am using the Steam Flatpak on OpenSuse Tumbleweed and when using the Steam interface, specifically when I get a chat message or try to respond to one, the Steam UI will hard freeze, as in a I can't type or move windows or interact with anything and then 30 seconds or so later everything goes back to normal. Plasma is still response when all of this is going on, it's just the Steam UI that freezes.

It's super odd and I have been running the Flatpak in the terminal to see if I can chat any relevant log messages but haven't seen any yet. It's been a little bit since I used the OpenSuse package and I think I remember seeing these freezes occasionally, but they seem much more common on the Flatpak version.

Anyone else get this behavior?

How would permission affect freezes?
