S9+ camera app going crazy (ghost taps)
- /e/ version: 0.21-q & 0.19-o (but also happened a year ago so it's not new)
- Device model(s): star2lte
- Device rooted: no
Summary
The camera app on my S9+ (a customer reported the same) often becomes crazy.
It only happens with the Camera app and Open Camera, I never faced this issue elsewhere. I asn't able to reproduce with "Simple Camera".
The problem
Steps to reproduce
It doesn't happen every time but you should quickly be able to reproduce (less than 10 minutes) by opening the Camera app and trying to take pictures, change camera mode, close it and opening it again. I suggest you to enable "Show taps" in developer options.
What is the current behavior?
I recorded the screen, see below. The only action I made was to start the recording of the screen, open the Camera app and go into the video mode instead of picture mode.
I was holding the phone from the back by the fingertips, so I definitely wasn't touching the screen nor near it.
What is the expected correct behavior?
