Webkitgtk4 crashing with Evolution and goa

Post by holger » 2019/06/28 22:18:51

I am running Centos 7.6 and a couple of months ago webkitgtk4 started crashing each time I tried opening an email in Evolution or try to open a "Compose new mail" window and the process fails. I can see the mail headers and the Calendaring function of Evolution works fine. The problem happens with any email message.
The same error occurs when trying to add a Googe account in the Gnome accounts manager, I get a blank screen and the same error message.
Both applications fail with the error message below:

Jun 28 16:38:10 localhost kernel: WebKitWebProces[23129]: segfault at bbadbeef ip 00007f5398429d86 sp 00007ffd009bca40 error 6 in libjavascriptcoregtk-4.0.so.18.7.13[7f53975c7000+1079000]
Jun 28 16:38:10 localhost abrt-hook-ccpp: Process 23129 (WebKitWebProcess) of user 38123 killed by SIGSEGV - dumping core

Both (Evolution email and Google GOA were working fine until that time. As I use Evolution on that computer only sporadically, I can not tell whether it was after an upgrade that caused it to stop working. I was hoping a future update would fix it but so far the problem has remained consistently.

I am running kde4 as windows manager on top of lightdm display manager. But the problem seems to remain even when using gnome or xfce as windows manager, or when using the gdm display manager. I also tried reinstalling webkitgtk4 but to no avail. SO any hint as to where to look for the problem would be appreciated.

Below the versions of webkitgtk4, evolution and gnome control center (they should be the latest):
webkitgtk4.x86_64 2.20.5-1.el7
webkitgtk4-jsc.x86_64 2.20.5-1.el7
evolution.x86_64 3.28.5-2.el7
