Sorry, little bit typo on systemd word. I mean my system, not systemd.

Comment 2 Dio Putra 2016-09-17 07:02:16 UTC
Hmm, things like because pepperflash which make this regression. Apologies for myself if nobody care about that problem. :-)

Thanks for a bug report.

that paste is gone. Better to paste it into the bugzilla for history and search reason.

I'm sorry, I didn't get it. Do you mean that the problem was caused by some other package, which you possibly removed and it started to work again?

No, fedora package don't make this problem but the pepperflash library (libfreshwrapper-flashplayer.so) which makes this problem. If you install libfreshwrapper-flashplayer.so in your system, you'll see the regression caused by pepperflash library (So badly, my gdb debug log was deleted).

And last time I saw pepperflash github repo, it's seem not actived fr now.

Thanks for the update.  As the problem depends on a 3rd-party custom web browser plugin, which evolution disables on its start, to avoid WebKit using them, I'm afraid we cannot do anything about it in the evolution. It would be interesting to know whether the evolution 3.22.x will survive, because it's using WebKit2, instead of WebKit1, though that will not change anything.
