This seems to be caused by a bug upstream in WebkitGTK:

Any news on a fix for this?

As a workaround, start Evolution with:

WEBKIT_FORCE_SANDBOX=0 evolution

Or compile webkit2gtk without the bubblewrap sandbox. webkit2gtk is the main html engine for gnome, compiling it without sandbox support comes with some security risks.
If you understand the risks and want to compile it, edit the PKGBUILD and add the line

-DENABLE_BUBBLEWRAP_SANDBOX=OFF \
