Hi @lugge. I am the author and also the maintainer. Honestly, I worked on this issue a lot and couldn't find anything suspicious in the code as it seems we are doing everything right. It could be that your system locale configuration is broken or wrong. I pinned the issue again on github if that provides any help to the users.

I keep getting an error when starting whatsapp. My system was up-to-date when building the package.

This issue was reported before but never adressed. Any idea?

@mitchellkrog Related issue is here: https://github.com/eneshecan/whatsapp-for-linux/issues/181. I believe this is a webkit issue and you can find the workaround there.

Latest version 1.4.2.2 is constantly freezing for no reason, happens when switching between chats, previous versions have had no problems. Any ideas?

@xeco, thanks - deleting the build cache directory solved the issue for me.

Most probably the related issue in pamac: https://gitlab.manjaro.org/applications/pamac/-/issues/535

After update via yay application couldn't work properly. I see white screen and then it show me error inside frame:
Could not connect: Connection timed out

Looks like a bug in Pamac because the package was updated via YAY
EasyFry commented on 2022-03-31 11:53 (UTC)
@xeco I get the same error on pamac.
Convex commented on 2022-03-31 11:43 (UTC)
@xeco, I downloaded sources and checked checksums. They are the same but I still getting the error via pamac

For anyone who wants to make raw image data pasting work as mentioned here, please use webkit2gtk-imgpaste as the dependency.
