Bug description

After a webkit upgrade:

webkit2gtk (2.40.5-2 => 2.42.0-1) webkit2gtk-4.1 (2.40.5-2 => 2.42.0-1) webkitgtk-6.0 (2.40.5-2 => 2.42.0-1)

xreader no longer displays any text. The screen is a large grey area. Document opens fine and the chapter list is as expected, but no text. Even a find works and reports text found, but on a blank screen.

Downgrading webkit immediately fixes the problem:

downgrading package webkit2gtk (2.42.0-1 => 2.40.5-2) downgrading package webkit2gtk-4.1 (2.42.0-1 => 2.40.5-2) downgrading package webkitgtk-6.0 (2.42.0-1 => 2.40.5-2)

Steps to reproduce

Simply open an epub file. As previously mentioned, this works fine, including the proper table of contents. This appears to be strictly a display problem, which makes sense as it seems to be related to a new webkit version.

Expected behavior

The epub text should be displayed properly. This is restored simply by downgrading webkit.
