Note text doesn't render

[baumkuchen42]

• Issue: Body of note is just blank, even though there is text in it. Text is shown in overview at the left and also on inspection.
• Probably related issue: Cannot write text in newly created note
• Version: Pulled latest version from master branch (commit bbf2938)
• Install method: Installed as flatpak generated by gnome-builder
• Other relevant info: Created the notes with earlier version of notes app (probably commit fed1d49)
• Error log: No errors, but the following warnings:

(notes:2): Gtk-WARNING **: 13:17:00.634: GtkListBox with a model will ignore sort and filter functions
(notes:2): Gtk-WARNING **: 13:17:00.634: GtkListBox with a model will ignore sort and filter functions
Failed to create /home/[...]/.var/app/me.blq.notes/cache for shader cache (No such file or directory)---disabling.

I also noticed this on the flatpak version. I assume it has something to do with the current version of WebKit that's in the flatpak runtime.

It works as expected when I build on my host machine using dnf packages (I use fedora).

It's kind of a bummer how unstable WebKit has been.

Perhaps that shader cache line has something to do with it...

Alright, I will try building it locally without Flatpak. I use Fedora as well, so it should work :)

I'm not getting that shader cache message on my machine for some reason. Building on flatpak.

FYI I also have a similar app built with flutter here https://github.com/Blquinn/marble

I basically created that app because of how crappy the webview is. I'm not sure how much I can do about these webview issues myself and the gtk rich text widgets are not suited for this. I think the issues will probably clear up eventually upstream when WebKit officially releases the gtk4 library.
