Comment (by Clorith):

 Replying to [comment:3 azaozz]:
 > Yes, the captions require the width attribute. We probably can recreate
 the caption width from the image tag `width`, but don't see why the width
 was removed from the caption in the first place.

 I believe the width is removed in regard to responsive designs. Both the
 height and width attribute in both images inserted and the caption
 shortcode makes this a challenge.

 Couldn't we set the width of it to the captioned image wrapper, and make
 it filterable?

 And with image sizes, are the width and height attributes required when
 Full Size is selected? I can see the use for Thumbnail, Medium etc, but it
 just seems redundant on the full one?
