Bug#1034326: unblock: evolution/3.46.4-2 - fix message scrolling regression due to WebKitGTK changes

[Paul Wise]

Package: release.debian.org
Severity: normal
User: release.debian.org at packages.debian.org
Usertags: unblock
X-Debbugs-Cc: evolution at packages.debian.org, Jeremy Bicha <jbicha at ubuntu.com>
Control: affects -1 + src:evolution

Please unblock package evolution

[ Reason ]
Due to a change in WebKitGTK, pressing the space key often (but not
always) doesn't scroll through the message preview, making it much
harder to skim through email quickly.

https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/evolution/-/issues/2302
https://lists.osuosl.org/pipermail/evolution-users/2023-March/166704.html

Since evolution upstream no longer supports 3.46.x, I asked the GNOME
team to cherry-pick the patch and Jeremy Bicha did that, also added
translation update patches and asked me to file this unblock request.

[ Impact ]
Reading email involves more use of the mouse for the evolution users,
since scrolling with keyboard no longer works reliably.

This could have an impact on users with keyboard preferences or users
who aren't able to use a mouse easily or at all.

[ Tests ]
I manually tested that the updated package fixes the issue and tested
the message previewing more generally for both HTML and plain text
emails and noticed no regressions or strange behaviour.

[ Risks ]
The patch is small and direct from upstream. The evolution MUA is part
of the default GNOME desktop, so a better user experience is important.

[ Checklist ]
  [x] all changes are documented in the d/changelog
  [x] I reviewed all changes and I approve them
  [x] attach debdiff against the package in testing

[ Other info ]
I have filtered out the translation update patches in the debdiff,
because otherwise the debdiff is very large:

debdiff evolution_3.46.4-1.dsc evolution_3.46.4-2.dsc > evolution_3.46.4-1_3.46.4-2.debdiff
filterdiff -x '*/debian/patches/*-translation*.patch' < evolution_3.46.4-1_3.46.4-2.debdiff > evolution_3.46.4-1_3.46.4-2.filtered.debdiff

[ Unblock ]
unblock evolution/3.46.4-2
