Looking at that patch code, I'm trying an experiment where I set the environment variable mentioned: christopher@eowyn ~$ WEBKIT_USE_SINGLE_WEB_PROCESS="0" evolution This should give the same effect as the code would, unless I'm setting the variable the wrong way. I haven't had the problem again yet, but I've only tried it for about 20 minutes. I'm curious also if that code would work, since it makes the assumption the program name is "evolution", whereas ".evolution-real" is the name of the process in Guix as listed by "ps -e". -----Original Message-----From: Christopher Howard < christopher@alaskasi.com>To: Marius Bakke , 39584@debbugs.gnu.orgSubject: Re: bug#39584: evolution: involid page id error when composing emailsDate: Fri, 14 Feb 2020 12:12:27 -0900 I'm eager to give the patch a try. I've never learned yet how to add add a source patch to a package definition, so it might take me some time to get to it if I had no help.

Searching the web for the error message leads to these bug reports: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1757243 https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/evolution/issues/587 Apparently Evolution does not work properly with WebKitGTK 2.26.Backporting all the upstream changes looks cumbersome, but I suppose wecould do something like this until we have GNOME 3.34: https://src.fedoraproject.org/rpms/webkit2gtk3/blob/f30/f/webkit-process.patch Thoughts? Are you able to give it a try?
