Screenshot with garbage content in new window

Most of the time when I open a new tab it will contain garbage letters as seen in the attached screenshot. Sometimes some of the speed dial things will come up next to the garbage. And it often crashes which I guess is not surprising given that something is obviously wrong.

This has been a problem for some time. This is with Debian and it looks like I'm on WebkitGTK 2.6.0. Is there any way easy way to debug it?

Some of the content of the backtrace got swallowed by bugzilla, here's the full version.

Could this be because of the % in overview.html? See bug #751385

overview.html copied via inspect element

I've saved overview.html via Inspect Element.

And I saw wierd thing:

html {
      background-color: #f6f6f4;
      background-image: -webkit-gradient(
          linear,
          left top,
          left bottom,
          color-stop(0, #eeeeec),
          color-stop(1, #f6f6f4)
      );
      background-size: 100 6.305605e-270m;
      background-repeat: no-repeat;
  }

'%' was converted to '6.305605e-270m'?

Regards.

And yes. My issue was related to https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=751385
After rebuilding with that patch, the issue seems to be solved...
