@teolemon Technically it's not "Receipt Scanning", it's "Barcode Scanning" when adding a product to a receipt or price tags.

From my own experience, I assume it happens when going back to the app.
Probably related to camera being reactivated and all the tap dancing about it, especially given that we now have potentially 2 barcode readers at the same time - the "home" one and this "prices" one.

@g123k Are there plans to get rid of the current bottom bar mechanism? TBH it's getting a bit cryptical - the bottom bar is on some pages only, for an untold reason - and it causes a lot of problem about the camera being deactivated/reactivated (as opposed to "in the current page there is / isn't a barcode reader, therefore I do / don't need a camera").
I guess we could keep the bottom bar while not pretending to display 3 pages simultaneously, what do you think?

In the POC, there's still the bottom bar, but I have implemented the camera with a different algorithm.
Currently, in the app, we use the default mode = autostart. It forces the camera to be opened and to prevent edge cases, we have several if to close it, if we are on a different screen.

In the POC, I do things differently, where I manage manually when I want the camera.
But changing things in the current version brings us to months ago (bugs & co).
If we have a plan B, I wouldn't be against.

@teolemon It's been a long time since I experienced that grey screen bug. Feel free to reopen if needed.
