            Bug ID: 239557
           Summary: [GTK] Evolution compose window unusable with Ubuntu
                    22.04 on Wayland
           Product: WebKit
           Version: WebKit Nightly Build
          Hardware: Unspecified
                OS: Linux
            Status: NEW
          Severity: Normal
          Priority: P2
         Component: WebKitGTK
          Assignee: webkit-unassigned at lists.webkit.org
          Reporter: jbicha at ubuntu.com
                CC: bugs-noreply at webkitgtk.org

Ubuntu 22.04
evolution 3.44.0
webkit2gtk 2.36.0 built with -DUSE_WPE_RENDERER=OFF

mesa 22.0.1-1ubuntu2 including https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/mesa/mesa/-/merge_requests/15822

Test Case
---------
>From Ubuntu 22.04, open Evolution
Click the New Email button
Add text to the main textarea
The text is invisible

Workaround
----------
It works in the Ubuntu on Xorg session, just not the Wayland session.
And this works: WEBKIT_DISABLE_COMPOSITING_MODE=1 evolution

Other Info
----------
Evolution does display emails. It's just the composer that isn't working.
This doesn't look reproducible with a standard Debian Testing or Fedora 36. Fedora 36 is also using mesa 22.0.1.

Ubuntu had a previous issue triggered by mesa 22 that broke all webkit apps on Ubuntu ( https://bugs.webkit.org/show_bug.cgi?id=238513 ). That was fixed on Ubuntu with the mesa patch. Most distros build webkit with the WPE renderer option enabled but Ubuntu hasn't switched to that yet.
