Hi, you should check your webkit2gtk version if it was installed using
the package manager (for archlinux: pacman -Qi webkit2gtk).
On webkit2gtk versions above 2.36.6 there is a bug which causes all
kinds of problems in surf
(
http://lists.suckless.org/dev/2210/34979.html).
If you are on the affected versions, you should try and either remove
the webkit library as described in the thread above, or downgrade to a
previous version of webkit2gtk, which you can find here (for archlinux):
https://archive.archlinux.org/packages/w/webkit2gtk/ and see if your
problem would go away.
