Arduino App Lab - Gray window with WebKit2GTK

I downloaded Arduino App Lab 0.1.24 from the official page. At first it complained that libwebkit2gtk-4.1.so.0 was missing, so I installed WebKit2GTK 4.1:

arduino-app-lab: error while loading shared libraries: libwebkit2gtk-4.1.so.0: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

sudo pacman -Syu webkit2gtk-4.1

After installing WebKit2GTK, Arduino App Lab could be launched but it only showed a blank grey window and this error message:

Failed to create GBM buffer of size 1024x768: Invalid argument

I searched for this error online and it seems to be specific to X11 and Nvidia, both of which I am using. I also found a fix that worked for me:

export WEBKIT_DISABLE_DMABUF_RENDERER=1

After some more digging, I could not find a permanent solution to the problem. I want advice on what my next step should be. Is there a permanent solution to this problem that I missed? If not, should I open a bug report to WebKitGTK or Arduino?

My system is up to date. I am using Nvidia 580.95.05-1, x11 1.8.12-1 and XFCE 4.20.

Here is my bootloader entry:

title Arch Linux
linux /vmlinuz-linux
initrd /intel-ucode.img
initrd /initramfs-linux.img
options root=/dev/nvme0n1p3 rw intel_pstate=disable nvidia-drm.modeset=1
