### Describe the issue

I am trying to use **OffscreenRenderer** with the **render_to_image** function to create snapshots from **geometry.PointCloud** objects. My code is running OK from python, but crashes the kernel when running from a jupyter environment.

It seems the error comes from the filament layer (SIGSEGV)

Thanks for your help!

### Steps to reproduce the bug

```python
import open3d as o3d

width, height = 512, 512
o3d.visualization.rendering.OffscreenRenderer(width, height)
```

### Error message

Kernel crash.

### Expected behavior

Running without any errors.
