A new Steam Deck Beta Client update was released yesterday with a few fixes. The left trackpad will now control the scroll wheel in the web browser, and a bug where a single-pixel line would appear above the header on the home screen has been fixed. All of the keys will now type properly in the Steam Overlay in Desktop Mode, and a case where streaming via Remote Play was showing a black window has been fixed.

You can download the update yourself in the System Settings on the Steam Deck. Make sure your update channel is set to Beta or Preview.
