Picture of what happens.

I tried re installing it.
Comment 1 Marcin Kozyra 2016-11-30 00:04:50 UTC 
I upgraded to fedora 25 from 24. Everything was working fine and now out of nowhere it stopped.
Comment 2 André Klapper 2016-11-30 00:15:05 UTC 
That looks more like a graphics driver than an Evolution problem?
Info welcome...
Comment 3 Marcin Kozyra 2016-11-30 00:26:07 UTC 
Evolution works with Xorg when I change it to wayland it stops working. Evolution is the only application that give me issues. Video playback work on youtube.

Did you report this to the Fedora issue tracker too? Link welcome :)
Comment 5 Milan Crha 2016-11-30 18:51:51 UTC 
Thanks for a bug report. This is [1]. I'm closing this in favour of it. (Hmm, this might be probably the first time I close a GNOME bug in favour of a downstream bug report.)

Comment 6 Marcin Kozyra 2016-12-01 01:46:05 UTC 
So if I understand this correctly I need to wait for the next release of evolution to get it fixed. Am I correct? Thank you all for helping out.
Comment 7 Milan Crha 2016-12-01 09:05:27 UTC 
The next release of the evolution will contain a workaround. You do not need to wait for it, you can also run evolution as:

   $ WEBKIT_DISABLE_COMPOSITING_MODE=1 evolution

and it'll work. You can add the environment variable also to your .bashrc:

   export WEBKIT_DISABLE_COMPOSITING_MODE=1

or /etc/environment:

   WEBKIT_DISABLE_COMPOSITING_MODE=1

or similar startup files, to not need to think of it every time you'd like to run anything what uses webkitgtk4.
