  1. Resolution Note:

    Thank you for reporting a bug to Unity.

    We have investigated this issue and confirmed that the difference is behaviour changed with fixing the following bug: https://issuetracker.unity3d.com/product/unity/issues/guid/UUM-134030, which was back ported into Unity 6000.0.57f1 which explains why the behaviour is different between 6000.0.56f and newer versions. Since Steam hooks into input to integrate with the platform (especially on Windows) and doesn't rely on best practices laid out by Microsoft doing so, this results inevitably in this kind of issues.

    We will close this case as a third-party issue. We recommend contacting Valve or maintainer for support. If you have evidence that the issue is within Unity, please share it and we will re-open the investigation.
