Encountered this on the nightly. Not encountering this on stable. Same distro, same environment, but this also occurs under an environment like Niri. Commenting to avoid staleness, regardless of best practices, due to the current staleness of the whole repo.

This issue is stale because it has been open 30 days with no activity. Remove stale label or comment or this will be closed in 5 days.

Having same issue. I can't take my headset off for a second because it gets stuck saying disconnecting. Then I need to entirely close alvr and steam vr and restart to connect.
