Description of problem: Epiphany doesn't render the DuckDuckGo page Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): 3.16 How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Open Epiphany 2. Enter DuckDuckGo.com Actual results: -> Empty window Expected results: The DDG page Additional info:
Are you running in Wayland?
No Michael, X11. But I can test with Wayland if needed.
Errr... OK. One more question before I forward this upstream: are you using a proprietary graphics driver?
No, just plain Haswell platform.
I'm kind of at a loss here. The problem is probably accelerated compositing, which kicks in on DuckDuckGo but on few other web sites. For instance, commits on github.com: https://github.com/WebKit/webkit/commit/3d5fb95539c776323e492f1a130e9287135a8073 Can you view that page? My guess is no. Accelerated compositing is known to be broken in Wayland. But I've never seen this issue in X11 before, and don't have much to go on here since your setup seems completely normal, it will probably be impossible to debug. My best guess would be a graphics driver bug. I've pinged one of the developers to take a look, but it will be hard to move forward with this here. Maybe you could report this on bugzilla.webkit.org; if I had enough information to go on I would report this for you, but I'm not sure what to do here. P.S. Do check to make sure you're not accidentally running in Wayland (check the little cog on the login screen). It seems unlikely, but I guess it's possible to do accidentally.
Worth mentioning that I have disabled DRI3 in Epiphany because it also breaks accelerated compositing. I doubt this will help, but maybe it will: let's try overriding that. After closing all existing epiphany windows (or the new instance of epiphany will hand off to the existing one then immediately quit), run: $ LIBGL_DRI3_DISABLE=0 epiphany Let me know if that helps or not.
I won't be able to test it until this next monday, but I will. I didn't looked at if I was running Wayland or X11, I'll take care of this also on monday.
Also, please include a log of anything that prints on the console when running epiphany. Again, I doubt it will help, but maybe.
Hi Michael, you were right, this happens only when runnning Wayland. The DDG page is correctly rendered with X11.
Rawhide users, please test webkitgtk4-2.9.3-2.fc23, this should be fixed.
