Description:
When using a hidpi setting "window scaling" in gnome-tweak-tool that is not 1, the compose window, the contact details window, and the message preview windows are all completely white. Also, for the message preview, the header is not displayed at all.
It is possible to click into the window and do CTRL-A, CTRL-C and copy the content and paste it into an editor, but the mentioned windows are completely unreadable otherwise. Also marking/highlighting does not work (for making the text readable), everything is always white.

I am not sure this is caused by evolution directly, though, but evolution seems to be the only program where I found this bug. It might also be related to webkit2gtk, or something else (display driver?). I am not entirely sure when the bug occurred for me, but it was only until a few days ago that it started happening.

Additional info:
evolution-3.22.4-1
webkit2gtk-2.14.4-1
xf86-video-intel 1:2.99.917+757+g93942b7d-1

I am using a Dell XPS13, the screen has a resolution of 3200x1800, and I used to operate it with "window scaling" = 2.

Steps to reproduce:
set "window scaling" to something other than 1 in tweak-tool
This task depends upon

I can confirm this bug (but I have window scaling == 1).

Downgrading webkit2gtk to 2.14.3-1-x86_64 solve the problem for me.
