Diego, is there supposed to be a Gallery button in the Camera app when it's launched as an activity?

My guess is probably no - activities are typically very contextually focused on solving one immediate problem.

Sounds like we've got exposed busted UX.

There should not be any gallery button when the camera is launched for a pick activity. Instead we want a dismiss button there.  So this is closely related to 975192.

This issue has been addressed in the patch for Bug 975192. The gallery button is not displayed anymore when using the camera from a pick activity. It was a CSS regression.
