My personal workaround for this is currently to ensure that I do not have a feed item currently open before I close the liferea window. This suggests me a potential hack for working around the webkit limitation: when the window hide signal is received, the webkit widget contents are cleared. When the window is shown again, the entry that was displayed on hide gets reloaded. Do you think upstream would be ok with that? > Do you want to try and see if Webkit can be persuaded to add such a > feature? You can reassign this bug if you find that appropriate. It may be worth reassigning or opening a bug to webkit, too, possibly also referencing how many people are currently working around it by sending SIGSTOP to browsers (I got a couple of private replies to http://www.enricozini.org/blog/2016/debian/simple-one-liner-to-save-battery-life-and-reduce-system-latency/ from people who were already doing it, and even scripted awesome to do it automatically). I don't know much about the webkit ecosystem: what would be the right package to file such a bug? Enrico -- GPG key: 4096R/E7AD5568 2009-05-08 Enrico Zini <enr...@enricozini.org>
