 The crop tool is automatically selected when editing an image with the
 built-in tools. This can be confusing as the crop button is greyed out and
 inactive by default.

 To reproduce:
 1. Create a new post or page
 2. Upload an image
 3. Click the Gallery tab
 4. For the image you uploaded click "Edit Image"

 The crop tool will be automatically selected. If you drag the mouse over
 the image it will select an area to crop.

 A more intuitive behavior would be to have none of the editing tools
 selected by default.

 Currently, the next step is presumed when you click "Edit Image." It would
 be better to leave the next step up to each user so that clicking "Edit
 Image" didn't imply a default action.
