Comment:

 Lots of threads with this problem being reported all over the net. It's
 pretty clear to me that the various configuration issues that "fix" the
 issue really are just band aids to an underlying problem with some of the
 image management innovation in v4.5. Some people are helped with .htaccess
 changes with the SetEnv variable or changing some timing parameters to
 allow a process to complete. For many those changes don't work and only
 switching to GD works which means a totally different code path is
 followed. This means that the underlying problem still exists on many
 configuration but the GD change is a total workaround with probably less
 features/support in the future. Even the PHP version update sometimes
 helps which probably is a different starting point configuration "fixing"
 the problem, but again that's not always the case.

 Here's the configuration we were able to simulate with sample images:

 error/page/2/#post-8435954

 There are other examples of solutions without proper debug features.

 I'll upload the debug media details and post. I'd really like to see this
 fixed with maybe setting some parameters/changes that provide a more
 reliable method than switching to GD as the "worst case" scenario.
