Description

The crop tool is automatically selected when editing an image with the built-in tools. This can be confusing as the crop button is greyed out and inactive by default.

To reproduce:

  1. Create a new post or page
  2. Upload an image
  3. Click the Gallery tab
  4. For the image you uploaded click "Edit Image"

The crop tool will be automatically selected. If you drag the mouse over the image it will select an area to crop.

A more intuitive behavior would be to have none of the editing tools selected by default.

Currently, the next step is presumed when you click "Edit Image." It would be better to leave the next step up to each user so that clicking "Edit Image" didn't imply a default action.

  • Keywords needs-patch added
  • Milestone changed from Awaiting Review to Future Release

Makes sense. Normal image editors don't display this behaviour either.
