Comment:

 As far as I can understand this ticket 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 9, 10, 11, 17
 hint that we need to remove the aspect ratio fields completely as they
 seem too hard to use.

 7. We can replace "Selection" with "Size", not sure if that would make it
 clearer.

 8. Indication is the different color and cursor change, similar to
 postboxes headers, menu, etc.

 12, 13. ??

 14. Seems to work as expected in most browsers.

 15. Think the explanations belong in the help section.

 16. As in many other image editors.

 17. See 1.

 18. See 16. Selecting the area that needs to be cropped and not pressing
 the Crop button will not crop the image...

 Perhaps we give the user too many (rarely needed) options. Can revisit in
 3.0 and remove the aspect ratio and editable selection size fields. They
 were intended for "more advanced" users that would spend 5-10 min. to
 learn how they work.
