            Bug ID: 212814
           Summary: [GTK] Export to PDF shows print dialog
           Product: WebKit
           Version: Other
          Hardware: Unspecified
                OS: Unspecified
            Status: NEW
          Severity: Normal
          Priority: P2
         Component: WebKitGTK
          Assignee: webkit-unassigned at lists.webkit.org

Coming from https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/evolution/-/issues/974

The GTK_PRINT_OPERATION_ACTION_EXPORT action seems to be ignored by WebKitGTK (2.28.2), it always shows a print dialog, instead of exporting to the given file name. That can lead to a lot of print dialogs when dragging mouse above a Nautilus window.

It's also bad that WebKitGTK needs the main GMainContext to operate, because when it is hidden below another main context (see the upstream bug), then it just freezes the application in an indefinite wait for a request completion , which is piled in a GMainContext, which is not iterated. I do not think you can do much about this, the idea of EAsync has some caveats and this is only one of them. I only mention it here to provide a reason why the application is frozen.
