            Bug ID: 168128
           Summary: [GTK] Version 2.14.4 does not paint most websites
    Classification: Unclassified
           Product: WebKit
           Version: Other
          Hardware: Unspecified
                OS: Linux
            Status: NEW
          Severity: Critical
          Priority: P2
         Component: WebKit Gtk
          Assignee: webkit-unassigned at lists.webkit.org

The WebKitGTK+ 2.14.4 release has just hit the Arch Linux “testing” repository.
After installing it, most webpages won't paint anything inside the webview in
Epiphany. The content is loaded, and moving the mouse around makes the URL tooltip
appear in the bottom-left corner, and the mouse cursor changes to a pointing hand,
which means that WebKitGTK+ is doing some work but no updates reach the graphics
output. In particular:

 - webkitgtk.org → blank webview
 - planet.gnome.org → blank webview
 - bugs.webkit.org → blank webview
 - github.com → works

The fact that GitHub worked led me to try the following:

  % WEBKIT_FORCE_COMPOSITING_MODE=1 epiphany    # All websites work
  % WEBKIT_DISABLE_COMPOSITING_MODE=1 epiphany  # No website works

I have confirmed that the same is true for MiniBrowser after building the current
Git “master”.
