Bug Description
Today I noticed on my Precise laptop that when using Cheese to try to take a photo, it would countdown, then just get "stuck" when it is supposed to take the picture. It still shows video from the webcam, but all the buttons and most of the menu entries gray out and stay that way until Cheese is closed and restarted.
Running cheese from a terminal shows the following error message after the countdown ends:
** CRITICAL **: cheese_
Taking multiple photos in a burst causes Cheese to show multiple countdowns, but can still be interacted with normally. No pictures are actually taken here, either, but it doesn't end up stuck like it would with a single photo.
Recording video still works perfectly.
