Description
@megoth: Seems to mostly work as intended, although I did run into one bug.
Open "Edit your profile"
Try to take a profile picture with webcam (click on new camera button)
Allow browser to use webcam
Take picture
Indicate that I'm not happy with picture, try take a new one (by clicking on the "retry"-icon)
After this, it doesn't look the webcam is closed properly. Chrome indicates the status of the cam with a red dot in the tab that uses it. After doing the aforementioned steps, the red dot does not go away until I refresh the webpage.

Research direction
Start by reproducing the webcam flow from Edit your profile: open the new camera button, capture a picture, then use the retry icon. Trace how the retry path handles the camera stream; it is done when the browser camera indicator turns off after retry without requiring a page refresh.
