Regression: Certain window types reset position when interacted with after move

In recent versions, I can't move Steam window more than once.

Steps to Reproduce:

  1. Open Steam, in either small or large mode
  2. Move Steam window by holding left-click on the Steam title bar
  3. Now left-click the Steam title bar as if you're about to start dragging it again
    • Expected behaviour: Window is able to be moved
    • Actual behaviour: Window immediate resets to original position (before your first moved it)

In fact it's not just the "grab-able" part of the title bar. If I click the x to close it, it also resets position instead.
