Public bug reported:

The camera doesn't allow you to take pictures; instead it displays a
static picture from the gallery with the UI camera overlay in front
(sometimes it will also simply display a black background).

To reproduce:

1) Launch camera app and take a picture
2) Go to the gallery via the button in camera app
3) Swipe from the right to toggle back to the camera app
4) Go to the gallery via the button in camera app
5) Go back to the camera app via the toolbar button
6) Toggle to front camera and take a picture and repeat the above steps 2-7.

I have been able to consistently reproduce, but sometimes it will take a
couple photos.

It *seems* like using the button or toggling via swiping is ambiguous,
meaning this is probably not an issue with gallery, and more likely a
freeze in camera.
