Reproducible with 0.4.3-1 from Debian Sid/unstable [1] and the following version.

$ midori --version
Midori 0.4.6-531-gb78c0fd

`/usr/lib/webkitgtk-3.0-0/libexec/GtkLauncher` works fine too, so this seems to be an error with Midori.

Epiphany 3.4.2 also does *not* expose that problem.

[Cris Dywan (kalikiana)]

Midori assumes XML is unstyled and solves that by using source mode. It used to be a fair expection for a while.
I removed that feature. Somebody'll need to re-implement it in a smarter fashion.
