Comment (by joshue108):

 Hi,

 Thanks for this - I'm seeing this bug without actually cropping the image.
 It may be related to the theme, but I doubt it as there are plenty if
 images that have the correct @alt text associated. This bug was pointed
 out to me and they seem related.
 The @alt text is added to the image/logo in the Media Library - I don't
 recall cropping the image at all (but may have).

 HTH

 > When experimenting with the new Theme Logo system in 4.5, I noticed the
 following a11y issue:
 >
 > Steps to reproduce:
 > 1. In customizer, upload logo under Site Identity
 > 2. Add alternative text to logo in upload interface
 > 3. Follow on screen process to crop image
 >
 > Result:
 > Cropped image does not inherit alternative text from original, and an
 option to add new alternative text is not provided as part of the
 workflow. As a result, the image file name is very likely to end up as the
 alternative text for the site logo.
 >
 > Expected:
 > * Alternative text to be copied automatically to the cropped image OR
 > * an opportunity be given for users to add new alt text to the cropped
 image AND / OR
 > * site identity information (site title/etc) be used as alt text if none
 is provided
 >
 > There is also no easy way provided to filter the logo alt text, or fetch
 only the image, so that this issue can be worked around at the theme
 level.
 >
 > Thank you!
