Package: surf
Version: 2.0+git20201107-2
Severity: grave
Justification: renders package unusable
X-Debbugs-Cc: dominique.marti...@atmark-techno.com
Dear Maintainer,
After upgrading my system to the latest security updates surf no longer
displays anything.
The pages actually load, hovering on links shows the cursor changing and links
can be clicked, but the page is blank
I've tested both in VMs on debian bullseye (this bug report) and debian stable
on real hardware (2.1+git20221016-4), both exhibit the same issue.
For bullseye, this package upgrade reliably triggers the issue, and installing
old packages back makes surf work again:
Unpacking libwebkit2gtk-4.0-37:amd64 (2.42.1-1~deb11u1) over (2.40.5-1~deb11u1)
...
Unpacking libjavascriptcoregtk-4.0-18:amd64 (2.42.1-1~deb11u1) over
(2.40.5-1~deb11u1) ...
Thanks you

I am unable to duplicate this issue with Debian Testing using GNOME.
I tested by running GDK_BACKEND=x11 surf https://debian.org/
There have been an enormous amount of changes in webkit2gtk since
October 2023 and this issue may have been fixed.
If you are still affected by this issue in Debian 12 or Unstable or
Testing, please report a new bug.
Thank you,
Jeremy Bícha
