white bar shown instead of content body

The update of libwebkit2gtk-4_0-37 2.40.5 (was 2.38.6) breaks preview and main mail view in evolution. 
Only a small white bar is shown instead of the message body. When grading back down not all errors are fixed (possibly more packages that are in this update are involved and had to be rolled back) but at least the mail body is visible again.
This error is reproducible on other systems of similar configuration. Surprisingly, when replying to one of the defectively shown mails, the "new" window shows the original content plus the newly inserted signature correctly.

There's an update pending for this. In the meantime, you can get a fixed
package from the GNOME:STABLE:41 repo. Ie,
zypper add https://download.opensuse.org/repositories/GNOME:/STABLE:/41/openSUSE_Leap_15.4/GNOME:STABLE:41.repo

Thank you for the near to immediate solution.

It might not seem so, but evolution has quite a user community as it is the only full fledged universal messenger application for gnome. One gets or stays easily dependent on the all in one place concept in a world of small apps covering only one aspect each.

Created https://progress.opensuse.org/issues/135059 to ensure we don't have that problem in the future.

Avu, if you would like to expand use case, I'm open for feedback via email! Cheers!
