Hi Maintainer,
re : epiphany browser bug
I *think* I found a workaround to avoid my desktop
locking up when using epiphany-browser.
It seems the problem derives from a 'mouse-hover'
initiation of a panel offering links to Bing and
to Google and to Duckduckgo. Placing the mouse
pointer over the web page URL to highlight it is
in some way connected to making the panel appear.
That panel does not always appear. I am unsure
what or why it gets intitated. I am pretty sure
that the lockup only appears when that panel is
on the desktop webpage.
If the panel appears I do something to make it
disappear. Moving to a different desktop, for
example. This seems to work around the bug.
HTH
