Thanks for a bug report. This had been fixed upstream already, please see [1] for further details. [1] https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=794723
Any chance we can get an updated webkit with this patch into Fedora 29? This is very much a blocker for using Evolution-on-Wayland ?
I guess you speak of https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=794723#c14 , but the next comment there says it's not a WebKitGTK+ fix, but gtk3 fix. Unfortunately, there's not much interest from gtk+ developers: https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gtk/issues/1447 It can be either they do not run Wayland or they do not use WebKitGTK+ as an editor.
Any chance we can at least get a downstream patch in Fedora for this until upstream gets its act together?
I'm not the gtk3 maintainer, thus it's not a question on me, but I'm wondering, which downstream patch do you mean, please? Every reference I gave is to upstream. The gitlab.gnome.org issue 1447 does contain some proposals, but nothing approved by the developers. It can cause issues due to that.
