Image cropping fails for many PHP locales, if set

[knutsp]

If{{{#!php
<?php
setlocale( LC_NUMERIC /*or LC_ALL */, 'nb_NO' );
}}}

is used then Media image cropping fails and selection input fields show Infinity. It works fine with 'en_US', btw.

If #17268 is implemented, I guess it includes use of `setlocale'.

Anyway, image cropping, and other internal passing of numeric data insede an application, should work independently of how numbers are to displayed according to a locale.

I don't know which file or script to look into, to suggest a patch. Any help appreciated.

Hi @knutsp,

I'm not able to reproduce this bug in WP 5.2-beta3. Can you confirm that this is still an issue, and if so, clarify the steps you used to reproduce this bug?

Thanks.

The bug is still there in latest beta.

Install on PHP 7.3.3. Add ´setlocale´ to ´wp-config.php´ with a valid PHP locale string (important).

Using Firefox latest, upload an image to Media. Click "Edit Image" button. Drag the mouse pointer on the image to make a rectangle. Observe Selection field values being filled with Infinity.

This bug still exists as of March 2022 (5.9.2).

Have you ever found a solution to it?
