Comment (by paulwp):

 I've just now finished posting a new gallery on one of my site in wp.com
 here below is from my memory.

 '''Before:'''

 You upload bunch of images to the post then switch to gallery tab (which
 will show only images uploaded to that post), then if care - click drag to
 sort order, then click save all change, then in the post editor you only
 have [gallery] and then that's it.


 '''Now:'''

 The default window will show all media by default, you have to select
 dropdown to show only images for that post ( one extra step ), then before
 performing the sort order, you need to click to select the image one by
 one (selecting by shift-click won't work), click edit to switch to the
 sort order state then click drag to sort order.

 from there you have to make a choice between "Insert into post" and "Make
 a new gallery"

 and if you choose "Insert into post" hoping to insert the gallery you've
 just made into the post, it will insert all the images into post not the
 gallery.

 You have to click "Make a new gallery", then in the post editor you will
 get

 [gallery
 ids="1998,1904,1903,2004,1902,1901,1900,2011,1993,1995,2005,1994,1992,...,]

 '''Shortcode is not for short anymore'''

 The default "sort order by menu order" is missing, so to have gallery
 sorted you have to have that much code in the so called shortcode.
