Yeah, this has happened for me too, sometimes it helps just to click on something, and sometimes it helps to change the view and back (ex. change it to 2d view and back).
I hope they will fix it soon, cos its getting annoying :/

For some reason, when I closed my friends list, it didnt glitch out at all. Try closing all Steam windows and see if does a difference for you too.

Been searching around, found a Work Around this whole mess.

I tried it and it worked.

After you open your map. Go to your task manager and end GameOverlayUI.exe and that should fix it until Valve fixes it.

I'm gonna confirm this as working, haven't had a problem yet after ending the Game Overlay

Jup, working perfectly, it would certainly be better if it was fixed rightaway, but it´s only 4 clicks once you start hammer, shouldn´t be that much of a problem for everyone willing to map :)

so gogogo!!! just 74 days left

Just disable the overlay all together, it shouldnt be that much bother I hardly use it anyway.

I want to confirm this.

I turned off all notices in Steam when Friends or Messages appear. That seemed to do the trick.

I sacrifice a goat and do a tribal dance and that makes it go away for me.

Yes, once I shutdown everything and restarted steam and hammer, this annoying issue is gone like it never existed.

hey guys I got a solution thanks to supertoaster

Control+Alt+Delete -> Processes Tab

End the process GameOverlayUI


TA-DA!

the only downside is you have to do this every time you start hammer.
