Steam deck controls de-sync on wake up

I’ve noticed that whenever I put my steam deck to sleep by clicking the power button on top, when I wake it up again, I’m right back where I was (one of the best features of the steam deck for offline games), but the controls are no longer recognized. I can’t do anything. If I tap the screen with my finger, it will switch to mouse controls and it registers as a left-click, but the only way to get back to gamepad controls is by restarting the game. Big drawback.
I played a bunch before the breach update and this was never a problem before, so the new patch introduced it somehow.
