Description Adrian Perez 2017-05-12 05:07:05 PDT

This is 100% reproducible while browsing GitHub with Epiphany
built with WebKitGTK+ 2.17.2: after the initial display after
page load, hovering elements or even clicking some element to
navigate to other pages inside GitHub, the web contents do not
get repainted.

I can reproduce the issue both with HiDPI scaling (2x) and
without

The versions I have for the components that potentially could have
something to do with this are:

  - Current Epiphany “master” (commit bde8aee66)
  - WebKitGTK+ 2.17.2 (built from the relase tarball)
  - Mesa 17.1.0
  - GTK+ 3.22.15
  - GLib 2.52.2

FWIW, this is also happening in trunk.

Adri, could you try again with current trunk?

I have just built r216971 (Git commit f6fcdad43a9) and now this issue
is gone. Most likely https://trac.webkit.org/changeset/216970 fixed
this :-)
