The commit you linked to is only changing the tests,
I think you meant to (also) link to
https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/evolution/-/commit/811a6df1f990855e49ecc0ba7b1a7f7a5ec251e6

Yves-Alexis have you tested whether applying these patches fixes *your* crash?

I've stumbled upon the same/a similar segfault, upon a similar UI interaction
where applying these patches does not fix the issue
(but downgrading libwebkit2gtk to what we have in trixie does).

See the following issue: https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/evolution/-/issues/3154

I'm trying to figure out if we're having the same issue, 
but it's not yet fixed completely or
if these are two completely separate issues
which just happen to fail with a very similar backtrace.

Cheers,
  Evangelos
