Description Randy, N3LRX 2013-10-18 09:18:01 UTC 
The cheese application locks up after taking a photo on Xfce 4.10. I have not tried Gnome 3. But after taking a photo the entire application is unresponsive. You cannot perform any actions with the buttons including the window buttons in the corner. To exit the program you must close it through the task bar or force quite. The funny thing is that video never stops responding. Live capture still goes on while the buttons are frozen.

A little more info regarding this bug.  It's not that the program is unresponsive, it's that the window that acts as the 'flash' doesn't close (or at least that's my findings).  If you take a picture, after the flash comes up, you can alt+lmb the flash around and/or resize it with alt+rmb.  If you resize/move the 'flash' out of the way of the program's main window, it is perfectly useable.

No, this is NOT the bug I am reporting. The application works fine until after the shot is taken. It counts down, the 'flash' screen comes up, and disappears as it should. The picture is even saved, and the live capture video is still rolling. However, the application is locked up. You can't close it with the window buttons, the menu, or click on ANY buttons, nothing works. You must close it through the panel button.

The application worked previously.

You can't even move the window around. It's just locked on the screen.
Comment 4 nosrepa 2014-02-05 20:00:49 UTC 
Can you verify that by turning off the flash feature and taking a picture?
Comment 5 Randy, N3LRX 2014-02-05 20:12:30 UTC 
OK, it works fine without the flash screen. It must be after flash that something locks up.
