 I'm using a 720px wide text column in wordpress and had set a custom image
 size of 720px (720px wide, 9999 tall, no crop), so that i can benefit from
 the new responsive images srcset feature introduced in Wordpress 4.4 in
 case I upload larger images (larger than 720px).

 I've just looked on the wp-uploads folder and saw that the image uploader
 creates an image with the same resolution even when I upload original
 images that are 720px wide. That shouldn't happen, according to Wordpress
 documentation.
