Sadly, this isn't very possible. ;( 1. It's against our updates policy, so it would require an exception. (no ABI/API breaks in stable releases). 2. If we did ask for an exception we would need to rebuild the 20-30 packages that depend on webkitgtk and get their various maintainers to test that there were no regressions. ;( I think it's more desireable if we can figure out what fixed this behavior to just backport it. I'll see if anyone has any ideas what that might be.
I can fully understand the policy confirmation. Could you provide any scratch build for F20 to verify the blocked Midori bug #1139035, with a new Webkit? So we can test if it's really an issue with Webkit itself.
Sure: https://koji.fedoraproject.org/koji/taskinfo?taskID=7565625
Of course that build failed... try this one: https://koji.fedoraproject.org/koji/taskinfo?taskID=7565665
I'll close cause of possible violation of policy. (In reply to Kevin Fenzi from comment #1)
