Thanks a lot Kevin for your patch. For everybody, here are the
upstream bugs related to this one:

https://bugs.webkit.org/show_bug.cgi?id=66016
https://bugs.webkit.org/show_bug.cgi?id=28851

The same bug is in Canonical's Launchpad and someone there mentioned
there already was a patch available for the first one:

https://bugs.launchpad.net/qtwebkit/+bug/846709

I also linked another Qt related Amarok bug to the one above:

https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=282152#c0

Cold somebody please check if it is indeed related? Thank you :)

The ball is now in the distributions' camp, they need to provide
patches fro QtWebKit4 ASAP.


Regards, Myriam
