Comment (by bkjproductions):

 I have several WP users who are complaining about the loss of the
 height/width fields on "Edit Image details". Oddly, if you are editing the
 details of an image that was uploaded to WordPress, you ''can'' type in
 the height/width. If the image is an external URL (for example, from
 Flickr) you can NOT type in the height/width. It does not make sense that
 you're allowed to do one and not the other. (If you are going to do
 something "special" for the external URL images, it would be ideal to
 display the height/width information for that.)

 Displaying the height/width while dragging is a great idea, especially if
 the styling is matching the other interface elements' tooltips. That may
 be an adequate workaround for my users.

 Can the size controls be put back in for BOTH internal and external
 images? Thanks for your consideration.

 Image details" modal (after clicking the pencil on an image in TinyMCE)?
 This used to be available pre-3.9 in the former modal.

 today. If we don't want to do that in core, I think they should be added
 to the [https://wordpress.org/plugins/advanced-image-styles/ Advanced
 Image Styles] plugin.
