 Priority:  normal        |  Milestone:  Awaiting Review
Component:  REST API      |    Version:  6.1.1
 Severity:  major         |   Keywords:

--------------------------+-----------------------------
 == Reproduction I: "Upload New Media" creates media title "My Great Photo"
 1) Media > Add New
 2) Drag-n-drop "My Great Photo.jpg"
 3) Inspecting this in "Edit Media" shows a media title "My Great Photo".

 == Reproduction II: Insertion via Block Editor (Gutenberg) creates media
 title "My-Super-Photo"
 1) Edit an existing page or create a new page.
 2) Set the cursor into an empty block.
 3) Drag-n-drop "My Super Photo.jpg" into this block. This automatically
 creates a media page behind the scenes.
 4) Save the page.
 5) Inspecting the media title via "Edit Media"
 - **Actual:** The media title is "My-Super-Photo".
 - **Expected:** The media title should be "My Super Photo".
   - The media title should be the filename portion (without the suffix) in
 its purest possible form (UTF-8) and only the slug and filename should
 then be transformed according settings regarding
 ascii/whitespace/transliteration/escaping/punycode/etc.
   - Achieving the same goal via different means (Upload New Media vs.
 drag-n-drop in editor) should result in the same outcome. Otherwise this
 is an inconsistency.


 == Analysis & Fix
 @adamsilverstein already analyzed and fixed this bug in the Gutenberg
 issue tracker and asked to re-file here in WordPress Core for review &
 adding to the codebase.

 === Adam's Analysis

 > This is actually something that happens on the core side where the logic
 to set the title is currently different in the REST API vs. the regular
 media uploader.

 === Adam's Fix which should be reviewed

 > I proposed a fix in [https://github.com/WordPress/wordpress-
 develop/pull/3981 WordPress/wordpress-develop #3981] that works in my
 testing. Would be good to have some additional feedback, maybe from the
 REST API team.

 === Environment

 - First [https://github.com/WordPress/gutenberg/issues/34149 reported on
 2021-08-19] in WordPress v5.8 ,
 [https://github.com/WordPress/gutenberg/issues/34149#issuecomment-1416260545
 confirmed/patched in 2023-02 ] on a WordPress v6.1.1 instance.

 === Priority

 - If the fix is deemed solid and the review process goes quickly without
 bumps: Is there a chance that the fix can make it into the 6.2 release? If
 not, no worry, am happy whenever this will get eventually fixed.
