RHEL Engineering is moving the tracking of its product development work on RHEL 6 through RHEL 9 to Red Hat Jira (issues.redhat.com). If you're a Red Hat customer, please continue to file support cases via the Red Hat customer portal. If you're not, please head to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira and file new tickets here. Individual Bugzilla bugs in the statuses "NEW", "ASSIGNED", and "POST" are being migrated throughout September 2023. Bugs of Red Hat partners with an assigned Engineering Partner Manager (EPM) are migrated in late September as per pre-agreed dates. Bugs against components "kernel", "kernel-rt", and "kpatch" are only migrated if still in "NEW" or "ASSIGNED". If you cannot log in to RH Jira, please consult article #7032570. That failing, please send an e-mail to the RH Jira admins at rh-issues@redhat.com to troubleshoot your issue as a user management inquiry. The email creates a ServiceNow ticket with Red Hat. Individual Bugzilla bugs that are migrated will be moved to status "CLOSED", resolution "MIGRATED", and set with "MigratedToJIRA" in "Keywords". The link to the successor Jira issue will be found under "Links", have a little "two-footprint" icon next to it, and direct you to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira (issue links are of type "https://issues.redhat.com/browse/RHEL-XXXX", where "X" is a digit). This same link will be available in a blue banner at the top of the page informing you that that bug has been migrated.

Description Milan Crha 2022-09-13 17:50:56 UTC
Evolution depends on frame-flattening setting on the WebKitGTK side to show the mail preview properly. The WebKitGTK 2.37.90 dropped the functionality, while keeping the relevant option existing, even it did nothing. That had been reported upstream [1]. The 2.38.0 will have the functionality returned, but the next major release of the WebKitGTK 2.40.x will have the frame-flattening gone again.

The change at [1] uses the frame-flattening conditionally, only for 2.38.x and below and simulates the option when a newer WebKitGTK is used (the version is checked in runtime, not in compile time).

I want to apply the upstream patch now, to have the code ready for the users. Even if there will be found any problems with the patch, it can be updated later. The main point is that the users will be able to use Evolution once the related WebKitGTK reaches RHEL, without a need to rebuild Evolution.
