the result quickly.

So You have the very same version as me but youdon't experience the same issues.

I've tried removing whatever configuration for both epiphany and webkit but
still have it.
I've even tried an other account but still experience the issue.

I think I'm going to open a RC bug as I consider the package is no more usable.

Does anyone have any suggestion that I can try before opening the bug?

Hi All,

OK this got fixed now with tonight update. I can see some gir1.2-webkit2-
4.0, gir1.2-javascriptcoregtk-4.0, libwebkit2gtk-4.0-37, libjavascriptcoregtk-
4.0-18 updated, but I don't feel checking one by one which is the responsible.

Thanks Kent for answering my previous mails and good luck for all the others.
