Comment:

 Punting this to 5.4 because we haven't had a chance to address this ticket
 and we are about to enter 5.3 beta.

 Outstanding issues that should be resolved here:

 > Clicking the crop tool again crops the image to previously cropped
 dimensions, which does not feel correct.

 > #### Remediation Guidance

  Firstly, it would be beneficial to low-vision users and users with
  cognitive disabilities if the crop/aspect ratio and selection inputs
  were closers to each other (both in layout, and in source order). It
  would then be easier for such users to move between sections and adjust
  the input values after making an initial imperfect selection. It would
  also be more logical to place these fields after the image editing area,
  rather than before it.
  The cropping feature should function for any input mode, i.e. it should
  work from only the keyboard, only the mouse, only touch, or any
  combination of those.
  For combined functions such as maintaining an aspect ratio while
  resizing the crop region, have a separate checkbox which users can
  select to maintain (or ignore) aspect ratio. The current Shift key
  functionality can be retained, but only as a shortcut for users who can
  use mouse and keyboard at the same time, it should not be the only way
  of doing this.
