This morning I updated my Ubuntu GNOME 16.04 LTS system to GNOME 3.20 using the Gnome3 Staging PPA.
One issue is that now when I select text in Evolution (the message preview/reader window and also the compose window), the selection is white-on-white so the text just disappears while the selection is active. If I select text in another GNOME application like gedit, it's the expected blue background/white foreground. There was an email thread on the evolution mailing list about this issue, from someone using Debian. Here's a link to the relevant thread: https://mail.gnome.org/archives/evolution-list/2016-May/msg00045.html Here's a note from Milan in that (long) thread that explains the issue: https://mail.gnome.org/archives/evolution-list/2016-May/msg00091.html Basically, there is conditionally-compiled code in WebKitGTK+ such that if it's compiled against an older gtk+ 3.18, then the code needed to get selection working right is not compiled. We need to get WebKitGTK+ to be compiled against gtk+ 3.20, in order for this issue to be fixed and selection to work properly. There's a Debian bug filed: https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=825304 Is there a good way to get a new build of WebKitGTK+ compiled against gtk+ 3.20, for the GNOME3 Staging PPA?
