### 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.
