Title:
  camera-app goes black, won’t work until the phone is rebooted

Status in Canonical System Image:
  New
Status in qtubuntu-camera package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  The following scenario has happened to me a few times since I use the
  BQ aquaris e4.5 as my main phone:

   - opened the camera app, took a few pictures, viewed them in the photoroll, shared one via telegram (as a result the camera app goes into the background)
   - carried out other unrelated tasks (web browsing, …)
   - focused back the camera app, swiped to the right to close the photoroll
   - got a completely black screen and (IIRC) a deactivated shutter button

  I was on the go when that happened, so no way to debug the issue, and
  as I really wanted to use the camera, what I did is I rebooted the
  phone. This "fixed" the issue.

  Unfortunately whenever I have tried to reproduce the issue, I have not
  managed to do so. It seems to happen randomly.
