A few days ago, most fullscreen games launched via Steam began showing the title bar no matter what settings I have configured. I am not sure what would have changed to cause this to start happening. It seems that games running with proton work as expected, but games with native linux clients show the title bar.
Screenshot of example
I am running a 3 monitor set up (left=1920x1080, center=3840x2160, right=3840x2160) running with a GeForce RTX 2070 Super on the Nvidia v455 drivers.

As mentioned, a few days ago I was able to run games full screen as expected.
Things I've tried:
- Downgrading the nvidia drivers to version 450
- Launching with the '-fullscreen' launch option
- Setting nvidia_drm modeset=1
- Forcing Composition Pipeline
- Enabling 'auto-hide dock' as suggested by RingGamesCompany
I am out of ideas. If anyone with more experience than I has any ideas, or if there's any additional information I can supply, I'm happy to do so.
