When we install the epiphany-browser package and open the browser, we are facing flipped/mirror image and blank screen issue on continuous minimizing and maximizing, so unable to use the browser.

We analyzed, experimented, and found it is due to the up-gradation of the dependency libraries of the epiphany-browser package namely libwebkit2gtk-4.0-37 and libjavascriptcoregtk-4.0-18. The Issue observed with the Epiphany-browser version of 3.28.6-0ubuntu1.

When we downgrade the dependency libraries which is being installed namely,
libwebkit2gtk-4.0-37 from 2.30.5-0ubuntu0.18.04.1 to 2.28.2-0ubuntu0.18.04.1,
libjavascriptcoregtk-4.0-18 from 2.30.5-0ubuntu0.18.04.1 to 2.28.2-0ubuntu0.18.04.1,

The epiphany-browser blank screen issue is solved and works fine.

Please help us to resolve the issue for smoother working of the browser.
