Public bug reported:
-Ubuntu release: Ubuntu 18.04.1 LTS
-Package version: 3.26.0-1ubuntu2
-What I expected to happen:
The videos about "Getting started with GNOME" should play without
issues.
-What happened instead:
Instead of playing the videos the help application hangs until the
WebKit process (/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-
gnu/webkit2gtk-4.0/WebKitWebProcess) crashes.
I was able to reproduce this bug with NVIDIA hardware using the open
source driver inside a live session, using AMD hardware causes no issue
at all.
