 Hi @rogerlos,

 Thanks for the detailed report! I can confirm that I'm still able to
 reproduce this in WordPress 5.2-beta3. It's particularly obvious when
 cropping an image to a different aspect ratio. It's possible that there
 are people relying on this functionality to art direct different sizes.
 However, this would be relying on undocumented behavior, which I'm not
 sure we would want to support.

 It might be worth looking at the history of that particular line of code
 to see if there are any clues as to why these arrays are being merged that
 isn't immediately obvious.
