User photo glitch for unsupported webcam ubiquity (precise)

[Jon Mirow]

I noticed this on a Samsung NC10 netbook that usually has out of the box support for it's webcam, so repeated on my desktop that doesn't.

It affects the step during installation where a user is given the chance to take their own user photo using their webcam.

It seems that if a webcam is unsupported, the box where the video captured by the webcam should appear continues to display the information that was in that space from the previous screen. This may also happen for supported webcams as my webcam was working post install, but not during the live environment.

I assume the space should have either been blank, black or presenting some data about "no webcam available".

This looks like bug #942030 which has been reported on the Ubuntu ISO testing tracker.
Since the symptoms are the same, I am marking this bug as a duplicate.
