[UWP][HTML] Problems using Window.Media.Capture.CameraCaptureUI

Question

Hello,

I want to use the CameraCaptureUI within my WinJS App. Unfortunately the CameraCaptureUI is very unstable. Here the bugs I found:

First, the camera dialog does not open, and throws the exception "Operation aborted", when the property croppedAspectRadio is not set:

var dialog = new Windows.Media.Capture.CameraCaptureUI();
//dialog.photoSettings.croppedAspectRatio = { width: 16, height: 9 };
dialog.captureFileAsync(Windows.Media.Capture.CameraCaptureUIMode.photo).done(function (file) {

}, function (err) {
   WinJS.log && WinJS.log(err, "sample", "error"); // err = „Operation aborted“ exception
});

Second, with a "croppedAspectRadio" the dialog opens, but when you try to close it with the window close button, WWAHost.exe throws an unhandled win32 exception.

Third, on a Surface Pro 3 the CameraCaptureUI dialog opens, but when you take a picture the dialog throws an exception.

Currently I have installed: Window 10, Build 10130; Visual Studio 2015 RC
