To close the application
Click on the Xbox logo on the left top. It will ask you to confirm to close the window.
Number input seems to be broken
This is because the Steam Deck is missing a font and falls back to a font without numbers. The numbers are still being typed but they are not visible. This issue should be solved with the latest patch (not confirmed yet)
