It sounds like you're having quite a frustrating experience with Telepath Tactics Liberated on your Steam Deck! The bugs you've described, especially with the controller UI getting stuck, definitely seem like they could hinder gameplay. It's great that you found a workaround using mouse and keyboard, but I can understand how that would be less than ideal. Hopefully, the developers can address these issues soon, allowing you to fully enjoy your campaign without interruption.
