Bug 170450 – [GTK] Epiphany and Geary freeze since 2.16 is out

• Status: RESOLVED
• Resolution: FIXED
• Component: WebKitGTK

[Cédric Bellegarde]

Since 2.16 is out, all my application using WebKit2GTK freeze after some times (even when not using app, leaving it on another desktop)

Tried disabling acceleration but freeze.

Downgrading to 2.14.5 fixes the issue.

Same here with webkit2gtk 2.16.1, when i run node-webkigtk test suite, it hangs at some test.
However it doesn't hang when i run test suites separately, and it doesn't hang when i downgrade to 2.14.5.

Could you provide a backtrace to know where the process is? Could you also try with the patch I merged yesterday after the release?

Great! Fixed in r214882 then. It will be available in 2.16.2.

Can confirm, it's fixed! Thanks a lot!
