On emacs -Q compiled --with-webkit in xwayland on GNOME:
- M-x xwidget-webkit-browse-url RET then enter in some url
- C-x 3
- C-o
- C-x 2

The left window will now only show the top half of the webpage and the
bottom half will be white

Thanks, but this isn't a bug: the xwidget will be resized to fit into
the current window, which after your recipe is smaller than the window
on the left.  You can press `a' inside an xwidget-webkit buffer to
resize the widget to fit the current window.

Closing.

I think it looks like a bug even if its intended behavior. If its not
going to be fixed then it should be explained to users that they
should expect to see incompletely rendered webkit windows.

I don't think this behaviour is important enough to explain.

Well I think it is, but I guess you have the last say, and only time
will tell if other users come here thinking it's a bug like I do.
