Question

Custom crop is not working

When I try to do a custom crop, it will not allow me to drag the handles to any custom size, it just reverts to the origina crop size.  Has the crop process changed from the previous versions where Seleting Custom, then dragging the handles could create any crop size?

Click on the lock icon first, so it opens. If the lock is closed, then the aspect ratio is locked.

No changes to crop.

Please share a screen capture where we can see the crop setting as well.

Add it to a post using this tool from the toolbar:

Please create a proper screenshot next time. This is the lock you should have clicked.
