Suckless Surf + Tabbed = occassional black screen

Wondering if anyone here is also coming across this bug

Occassionally when i open a new surf tab, the screen is completely black. Thus i have to close the screen and open
it again.

I didn't have it when surf used webkitgtk, but after the migration to webkitgtk2, i have
this problem.

Anyone know a fix?

Does it only happen in tabbed? Or in a new instance as well? Video card and driver? Replicable with vanilla or no config? etc...

It only happens as a new instance of tabbed. This is regardless of surf being modified or not.

I use xf86-video-intel.

Thanks for the questions. I hadn't tried reproducing with vanilla.
