Description Kdwk 2023-01-09 00:28:06 PST

On github.com and some other websites like rpmfusion.org, downloading a file will cause the web process to hang. The download proceeds without problem.

Reproduced on any version of Flatpak Epiphany, any version of WebKitGTK

To reproduce the issue, download an artifact from https://github.com/Rafostar/clapper/actions/runs/3869691223.

I got a backtrace and found the web process is just polling, so it's waiting around doing nothing and doesn't appear to be deadlocked or looping... it's just got nothing to do for unknown reasons. This will require closer investigation.

There's no hang, you an see that the mouse pointer changes when hovering elements, and they change after scrolling, the problem seems to be that for some reason we stop rendering updates, so we keep rendering the same thing all the time. It's weird.

This is not WEbKit bug, but wpe-fdo. See https://github.com/Igalia/WPEBackend-fdo/pull/181
