Getting undefined wp.media.frame.state() after click on featured image preview

[nlemsieh]

In WP 5.x:

• When I click on the featured image preview the wp.media.frame.state().get('selection') is undefined.
• But, when I click on the "Replace image" button wp.media.frame.state().get('selection') returns the selected attachment object (which is the expected behaviour).

While in WP 4.x it returns correctly the attachment when I click on the featured image preview.

I'm able to reproduce this and it looks to me like the frame state is getting destroyed once the featured image has been set and the modal is closed. @nlemsieh are you suggesting that the state should be recreated when the modal is reopened by clicking on the featured image in the sidebar?

This seems related to https://core.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/53765

the frame should initialize with the selected image selected.

Moving this to 6.2 to investigate and fix.

This ticket was discussed during the recent bug scrub. It looks like it's unlikely that work will be done on this during the 6.2 cycle.

@antpb Is this still possible to land in 6.2, or should it be moved to Future Release for now?

As we're approaching 6.2 Beta 4 and this ticket doesn't have a patch, I'm moving this to Future Release.
