WP 6.6 RC 1: Image cropping fails in the block editor

[andrewserong]

Description

When going to crop an image in the block editor while running WP 6.6 RC 1, the image is not cropped after applying a crop.

The issue appears to be caused by something in core, and not in the Gutenberg plugin, as the values being sent to the media/edit endpoint have not changed.

Related issues:

• Revert "Skip failing image block test (#62781)" #62854 — the attempt to reinstate the e2e test for image cropping
• https://core.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/32282#comment:28 — trac ticket related to recent changes to image cropping in core
• https://core.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/59782 — a similar trac ticket related to recent changes to image cropping. Reverting the changes in that trac ticket appear to get the cropping tools working again.

Step-by-step reproduction instructions

1. Run WP 6.6 RC 1
2. Add an image block to a post
3. Click on the Crop tool in the block toolbar
4. Select a Crop from the aspect ratio dropdown
5. Click Apply
6. Note that the Crop has not applied

Screenshots, screen recording, code snippet

In the below screenshot, an aspect ratio of 1:1 is selected and should be applied, but the returned image from the API endpoint does not include any cropping:

Update: reverting WordPress/wordpress-develop#6876 locally appears to get the image cropping working again for me. I'll comment over on the related trac ticket: https://core.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/59782

A potential fix: WordPress/wordpress-develop#6909

I believe this was fixed by WordPress/wordpress-develop#6909

[andrewserong]

Thanks for updating! Yes it was fixed in WordPress/wordpress-develop#6909, but it hasn't yet been committed to the RC. Since it was missed for RC 2, I'm just going to reopen this for visibility so it doesn't get missed for RC 3. I've moved this back to the "needs core commit" column. Hope you don't mind!
