Description Andrei Zisu 2016-11-03 12:17:05 UTC 
Also reported here: https://bugs.launchpad.net/epiphany-browser/+bug/1633995

This issue seems to be present in Epiphany on 3.22 (flatpak) as well.

The most popular example (and really bad design on the side of the web developers) is IEEE Xplore (http://ieeexplore.ieee.org/Xplore/home.jsp), the library system used to read papers published by IEEE.

I guess a sane workaround for this would be to just offer download of that file (in this case pdf).
Comment 1 Michael Catanzaro 2016-11-03 14:39:32 UTC 
It happens in MiniBrowser too, and it happens without evince-browser-plugin installed, so it's a WebKit bug.

Thanks for taking the time to report this.
This issue is most likely a bug in WebKit. Please report the bug to https://bugs.webkit.org/ including a link to this bug report and noting the version of WebKitGTK+ that you have installed. When reporting the WebKit bug, be sure to include the prefix '[GTK]' in the bug summary and select the 'WebKit Gtk' component.

Also thanks for identifying the cause, I remember this being quite annoying when I was a student. I used to know some workaround to download those papers anyway. :P
Comment 3 Andrei Zisu 2016-11-03 23:33:30 UTC 
Hey, I'm not sure. Do you have any idea what WebKitGTK+ version does the 3.22 flatpak Gnome runtime have? 

Yeah. IEEE Xplore is what's keeping me from uninstalling Chrome right now :P

Easiest way to find out is to just check the About dialog. Anyway, I can reproduce it here, so the exact version number is not super important.
Comment 5 Andrei Zisu 2016-11-04 13:13:48 UTC 
I can't find the about dialog, oddly enough. 

I will report it right now.

It's in the top bar:

Comment 7 Andrei Zisu 2016-11-04 15:36:10 UTC 
Ah! I'm on elementary. We don't have such a thing.
Comment 8 Michael Catanzaro 2016-11-04 16:59:47 UTC 
Ah yeah, elementary has a downstream patch to remove the app menu. I figured they would have added it into the window somewhere, but I guess it's possible they just didn't replace it....
