Epiphany stops refreshing once Googlemail is loaded

[Michael]

Binary package hint: epiphany-browser

When I load Googlemail in a tab in Epiphany and open a message the display freezes. The browser continues to react normally, and I can cause the display to refresh by scrolling up and down, but in between it does not refresh or give any visual indication that it is not frozen. I am using the Ubuntu global appmenu if that is relevant.

Three additional points.

1) The title bar is correctly updated when Epiphany stops refreshing.
2) This persists even if I disable the global menu. In this case menus are not drawn either, although initially Compiz creates windows for them (the outlines are visible)
3) Most importantly, this worked on Monday (Oct 4), so it must have been caused by a recent update.

Might this be related to the debian/patches/04-spoof-user-agent-to-google.patch patch added to webkit on Friday?

No, it looks like it was just updated to fix log spamming. Possibly related to the major Webkit update though, which would make it unpractical to bisect the issue.

Thanks for the report, it has been some time without any response or feedback in this bug report and we are wondering if this is still an issue for you with the latest release of Ubuntu the Natty Narwhal, May you please test with that version and comment back if you're still having or not the issue? Please have a look at http://www.ubuntu.com/download to know how to install that version. Thanks in advance and sorry for the late response.
