wp_enqueue_media() breaks featured image functionality

[hovida]

Hey there,

The bug #23028 still exists.

It was very annoying to find the problem. If you add the wp_enqueue_media functionality on themes or plugins, the media manager wont work correctly.

The bug exists on the actual stable (3.8.2) up to beta releases (tested in 3.9 RC1 and 3.9 RC3).

<?php
	class Media_Demo {
		public function __construct() {
			add_action('admin_init', array($this, 'admin_init'));
		}
		
		public function admin_init() {
			if(function_exists('wp_enqueue_media')){
				wp_enqueue_media();
			} else {
				wp_enqueue_style('thickbox');
				wp_enqueue_script('media-upload');
				wp_enqueue_script('thickbox');
			}
		}
	}
	
	new Media_Demo();
?>

wp_enqueue_media() consumes an arguments hash which includes an option for post, which you can pass anything that get_post(). This feeds into the JS of the media experience for Edit Post-specific functionality, so it can contextually know which post you are editing. Core does this, and so should you.
