22738,3.5 Media: Correct display of dimensions for large-size images in size dropdown,jond3r,nacin,"To better comply with the behavior in WP 3.4 here is a proposed small fix for computing the dimensions shown in the image size drop-down box in the ""Media modal"" when inserting images from the media library.

This applies mostly to large-size images, which generally are constrained in size by the global variable $content_width set by the theme. For example TwentyTwelve sets $content_width = 625. When an image that is wider than $content_width is inserted, it is ""constrained"" in size to the value of $content_width, that is its width and height attributes (""hwstring"") are adjusted.

In 3.4 the constrained dimensions are shown in the dropdown when an image is inserted, in the current 3.5 trunk the unconstrained dimensions are shown, e.g. Large is generally shown to have a width of 1024, whereas in 3.4 it is shown as 625 (for TwentyTwelve). The code inserted in the editor is however the same for both versions.

(As a side note, the image class gets a value of ""size-large"" even though the size attributes are constrained. But this is a ""legacy"" behavior.)

The proposed fix makes a call to image_constrain_size_for_editor() in wp_prepare_attachment_for_js() (file wp-includes/media.php).
Referring to #22598 there was a worry that repeatedly calling image_downsize() would be too slow. However, it is sufficient in this case to call image_constrain_size_for_editor(), and just for large-size (or custom) images. (The only drawback i found was that the filter 'editor_max_image_size' will not be applied for thumbnails and medium images if these are bypassed image_constrain_size_for_editor()).

I also added a small performance improvement to wp_constrain_dimensions(), which now returns immediately if the current and max dimensions are equal.

The attached image shows the image size dropdown before and after the fix, which also complies with 3.4.
