Can you test the xwidget support using self-built WebKitGTK with
`-DENABLE_GL=NO' added to your cmake options?

You can follow the instructions here: https://trac.webkit.org/wiki/BuildingGtk.

Afterwards, you can add the path to the library into your
LD_LIBRARY_PATH, and start Emacs that way.

Thanks a lot!

Yes, you should remove it.  I suspect that code was originally added to
work around the resizing bug I fixed in bug#51679.  Thanks.
