Bug#889789: epiphany-browser: Flickering when reading PDFs

[Pelle Hjek]

Package: epiphany-browser
Version: 3.22.7-1
Severity: minor

Dear Maintainer,

When opening a PDF in Epiphany (using 'browser-plugin-evince') it
flickers all the time, making it unpleasant to read. This happens with
any PDF file I've tried, and these same files don't flicker when opened
in Evince.
