Transform>Upright>Auto resulting crop

[F1XX]

This might be a bug but it certainly is unwanted behaviour.

When you use auto uprighting transform it works very well (saves me a lot of squinting in manual mode) and it crops image as needed to constrain crop.

Problem is that cropped areas are gone for good. In manual mode you have access to crop adjustments and you can recover cropped areas as needed. Not so in auto mode – outside areas are gone, no recovery.

I wish auto upright would behave like manual upright: keep cropped image parts recoverable in crop tool view.  I might want to keep those parts and inpaint white parts of them in PS as needed. (Of course it would be preferable to have content aware fill available for white corners right in LR but I have whined about that in another post...)

Does this bug you too?

You can change the crop after auto-upright, via the crop tool (using reset or by changing the borders of the crop)

But I cannot recover the area that auto upright removed. See following screenshots, 1 original image, 2 & 3 manual case, 4 & 5 auto upright:

Try the Scale slider and then reshape the crop to suit.
