I hope it is this one:
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=777947
https://bugs.webkit.org/show_bug.cgi?id=167296

This kind of bugs are nearly every time a problem for upstream, they need our input to fix the bug. Sometimes it make sense to report them also to Archlinux e.g. if the can apply really necessary patch from upstream or if they can things a little bit better through configuring something.
