Markup stops working if you leave the app while editing

Originator:bshimmy
Number:rdar://49964036 Date Originated:April 16 2019
Status:Open Resolved:
Product:iOS + SDK Product Version:iOS 12.2 (16E227)
Classification:Bug Reproducible:Always
 
Area:
Camera

Summary:
If you open Markup on a photo from the Camera app, and then close the app (e.g. by pressing the home button) and then you go back into Markup (any photo), nothing happens when you try to draw / mark up the photo

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Open Camera app + take a photo and tap on the new photo (or open an existing photo)
2. Tap on Edit
3. Tap on circle with three dots
4. Tap Markup (can verify at this point you can draw on the photo with any of the markup tools, but you don't actually need to draw to reproduce the bug)
5. Tap the home button to leave the app
6. Reopen the Camera app
7. Open a photo from the bottom left corner
8 .Tap edit
9. Tap circle with three dots
10. Tap Markup
11. Try to mark up the image but nothing works. You can select tools, colours, opacities but you cannot make a mark on the image.

Expected Results:
Can markup as usual without having to force quit the app first.

Actual Results:
Cannot markup any photos. Have to force quit the Camera app to do markup again.

Note, if you markup in the Photos app and then leave the photos app, the next time you return to the Photos app if the app is still active it will still show the markup, whereas for the Camera it seems to automatically dismiss the markup (I guess the idea is so that when you return to the camera you always see the camera right away)

Video attached — you can't really tell from the video but obviously at the end I'm trying to draw on the screen but it's not working. And as I mentioned, you can force quit the app and it goes back to normal.

Version/Build:
