When using "Press This" bookmarklet and clicking "Add Photos" and selecting a photo the photo isnt added as a featured image the image is only added inline.

Hey Jason, welcome to Trac :)

Has it ever worked like this in Press This?

This isn't something that should be done automatically in WordPress core. It is, on the other hand, something perfect for and easy to do with a plugin, by hooking to post_updated (or similar). Running on updates is fine, since Press This creates a post early, to satisfy the media library requirements, etc.

Agree with @stephdau. Setting a featured image is a somewhat advanced option. Can be added as default by a plugin, or the users can save a draft, go to the Edit Post screen and set it from there.
