[Debian-on-mobile-maintainers] Bug#1040404: gnome-calls: First call after boot blanks screen; can't access call controls

[John Sullivan]

Package: gnome-calls
Version: 44~alpha.1-1
Severity: normal

This is on a PinePhone, with the Phosh environment.

Consistently, after a fresh boot, when I make a call, the screen goes blank. Hitting the lock button, which would normally un-blank the screen in some way (either by bringing up the PIN unlock screen, or 
by showing the active application), does nothing. Hitting the volume up/down buttons does show the expected volume adjustment pop-up.

I can have the call as normal, but with the screen blank, I have no way to hang up, or to navigate menus by pressing dialpad numbers. My only workaround so far for ending the call is ssh'ing into the device
and killing gnome-calls.

Once the first call is complete, if I make a second call, it functions as normal -- the screen does not go blank immediately. When it does go blank, pressing the lock button brings up the call controls.

This is 100% reproducible for me by just doing:

1) Reboot the phone
2) Place a call to any number or contact 
3) Screen will go blank irrecoverably until gnome-calls is killed or other side ends call
4) After call, place another call
5) It works as expected, as do all subsequent calls, until the next boot
