WebKitWebProcess crashed with SIGSEGV in WebKit::LayerTreeHost::LayerTreeHost()

[Erich Eickmeyer]

Evolution, when launched with Wayland, suddenly closes. When launched from the command line, it displays this:

Gdk-Message: 16:42:11.320: Error flushing display: Protocol error

If forced with --display=:0, it works, but an obvious crash in WebKitWebProcess occurs, hence I believe the issue lies within that.

Status changed to 'Confirmed' because the bug affects multiple users.

[Gavin Graham (gavingraham)]

I'm also having this with Jammy. I am using Wayland with the AMD opensource GPU drivers.
The following appears in syslog:

Actually, a correction. Evolution starts fine but if I go to type an email (or reply) the editor window is blank. Closing the new or reply message window THEN crashes Evolution.

Attached crash file.

[Gavin Graham (gavingraham)]

Evolution-3.44.0-1ubuntu1 in Jammy proposed fixes the issue.

[Erich Eickmeyer (eeickmeyer)]

"Fix Released" isn't appropriate until it migrates from proposed.

[Ahmet Yıldırım (regenx)]

What is the target date of fix that we can install on jammy?
