During our hangout my #219 mako freaked out after taking a couple of
pictures. Seems it's a known bug, likely this one:-

https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/camera-app/+bug/1284290

I triggered it mostly when taking photos while the phone was during rotation.

Yes, I realise this is very much a case of the classic:-

Patient: Doctor! Doctor! My arm hurts when I do *this*!
Doctor: Don't do it then.

Perhaps (as suggested in comment #3 on bug 1284290) the camera was
re-focussing which caused the freakout.

Other than that I had a few issues which while filed against #219,
were actually long standing issues, not regressions I discovered while
walking around London with my #194 mako. I'm sure people were greatly
amused at the sight of me shouting "REFRESH! DAMMIT!" at a Nexus 4 in
Bond Street today.
