Librem 5 camera hates debugging. You can display 8 characters with gtk while using camera... but if you display more, camera eventually locks up. Happens with both direct drawing and gstreamer textoverlay element.

You can debug over ssh, and other heavy use locks it up, too, but... I take this one personally. #librem5 #phonecamera

@pavel GTK is so easy to crash it's ridiculous. If I have a program that updates the text in a GtkEntry in a loop it will just segfault at some point...

@martijnbraam If you are sure you got threading right, you might want to fix or report it.

But to be clear, this is _not_ gtk problem. It is hardware problem that kernel does not work around.
