Description Xoores 2025-06-23 15:27:53 UTC
net-libs/webkit-gtk-2.48.3-r410 disables ENABLE_DRAG_SUPPORT in build and this causes other applications to misbehave - for example Evolution https://bugs.gentoo.org/957498

net-libs/webkit-gtk-2.48.3-r410:
-- Enabled features:
--  ENABLE_BUBBLEWRAP_SANDBOX ..................... yes
--  ENABLE_DOCUMENTATION                            OFF
--  ENABLE_DRAG_SUPPORT ........................... OFF


net-libs/webkit-gtk-2.46.5-r410 (previous version) has DRAG_SUPPORT enabled:
-- Enabled features:
--  ENABLE_BUBBLEWRAP_SANDBOX ..................... yes
--  ENABLE_DOCUMENTATION                            OFF
--  ENABLE_DRAG_SUPPORT ........................... ON

Reported to upstream here: https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/evolution/-/issues/3080

I would ask if we could re-enable DRAG_SUPPORT in the latest version, even though there already is a patch for Evolution that prevents the crash. It will still not work correctly without it (cannot select text using mouse dragging).

Reproducible: Always

fixed ebuild with DRAG_SUPPORT_ENABLED=ON

I have now tested this ebuild and everything works as expected - Evolution no longer crashes (even without any patches from upstream) and I can now select text again like before.

I'd definitely say that DRAG_SUPPORT_ENABLED has to be ON, otherwise all kind of stuff breaks in a weird ways.
