Strange glitch that's been annoying me since I started replaying Half-Life 2 on the Steam Deck. Essentially, after saving, if you go to pause again the last menu highlighted will be ghost selected.
My theory is that the button flag state in the menu is not being cleared when the game saves. The entire game freezes while saving meaning the main thread has locked up. Either the button state needs to be cleared on the menu after saving or the save routine should become asynchronous.
....But, I don't have access to the Source Engine..source so
