 Using latest Firefox on Windows 10, Twenty Sixteen theme and no plugins.
 Test site [https://z1.torknado.com] displays the result of selecting a
 header of the wrong aspect ratio and "cropping" it in Customize. I
 uploaded a photo 2560 by 1920 and am trying to use this as the header
 image. So from Customize I go to **Header Image**, **Add new image**,
 select my image already in the library, and click **Select and crop**. The
 cropping screen opens but there is not a cropping rectangle of the
 suggested dimensions (1200x280) or of any dimensions. The **Crop image**
 button is active, and if I click it, produces a "cropped" copy the same
 dimensions as the original image.

 Oddly, if I repeat the same steps but this time select the "cropped" copy
 instead of the original (actually "scaled") image, I do get the correct
 cropping rectangle on the cropped image. It's notable that while the
 original and so-called cropped version have the same dimensions, the
 cropped one is a much smaller file size.

 Original image: https://z1.torknado.com/wp-
 content/uploads/2021/05/IMG_0373.jpg doesn't appear in the media library
 screen.
 Image as "scaled" by the uploader: https://z1.torknado.com/wp-
 content/uploads/2021/05/IMG_0373-scaled.jpg
 "Cropped" image: https://z1.torknado.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/05
 /cropped-IMG_0373-scaled-2.jpg

 I observed a similar problem with a different theme (Graphene). In that
 case the image was scaled to their required dimensions, so it was
 distorted to show the whole picture. Oddly, this occurred with the
 cropping step, not just with display. The thumbnail in the media library
 was wrong, not just the display on the page.
