 Hello @philhuhn,

 Welcome to WordPress Core Trac! Thank you for this ticket.

 I'll do some housekeeping:

 - Removing the keywords. Why? Then ticket is currently awaiting review by
 the Media team. Once moved out of `Awaiting Review`, then the appropriate
 keywords will be added.

 - Copying comments from closed Gutenberg issue to make it easier for all
 contributors to work in this ticket.

 >I tried to replicate this and found that the cropping functionality still
 appears. Here's a video: https://cloudup.com/c3hdV1X1R5h It seems what
 might be confusing is how small the selection becomes after clicking into
 the darkened space. Even with that though, one can still drag across the
 image to create a new selection area. Check out the video I made and let
 me know if that helps clear things up! If not, definitely report the
 request here: https://core.trac.wordpress.org/ as this repo is
 specifically for the Core Editor which is separate from the Media Library.

 >I think what I see in your last video/movie is what I was experiencing
 happening to me. When you clicked below the image, the 8 square anchors
 did disappear. I contend that I did not know how to recover from the
 square anchor disappearing. I just happened onto my solution. I have been
 programming, for a long time, but a basic end-user is not going to
 understand how to overcome this situation. I have not read the user
 documentation and the basic end-user is also not going to have read the
 documentation.

 Comment by @annezazu:
 >I totally get why it's a confusing experience and how it might help to
 have some gentle nudges to help people get back on track with cropping
 when this happens. I definitely think it's worth opening a request in the
 appropriate place: https://core.trac.wordpress.org/
