Banner aspect ratio can not be changed on Linux/Firefox

[smoyer64]

Describe the bug

On Firefox (Linux) 114.0b4, there is no way to change the aspect ration of a banner image.

To Reproduce

Steps to reproduce the behavior:

1. Attempt to load an image suitable for a banner (say 3:1).

Expected behavior

I expected to be able to change the aspect ratio. On Chromium (Linux), there are in fact three buttons but the horizontal and vertical aspect ratios provide very slight changes from a plain square. In the Android app, loading the same image results in the expected banner orientation (though my banner is a bit too large and does in fact get clippted

Screenshots

Details

• Platform: Xubuntu Linux with the latest Firefox and Chromium
• Platform version: 22.04
• App version: Build version TODO (TODO)

Ah, yes indeed this is not the right behavior

[pfrazee]

The cropper should be in the correct aspect ratio for the banner

This is an issue on Windows too.
Firefox 114.0.2 (64-Bit)

I used Chrome on Mac when I signed up a few days ago (because it seemed to work better than Firefox), but it's not behaving yet as it should.

Uploading / replacing the banner picture should have a cropping option that fits with the banner picture dimensions.

At least let me open somebody's banner picture in a new tab so I can see what's on it?

@pfrazee This is an issue in the profile picture cropper too (at least on Android): it requires you to fill the aspect ratio of the uploaded image rather than the actual square crop (meaning you have to zoom in to crop anywhere other than centre).

[mschwendener]

Adding a banner picture still doesn't work as it should. What are the dimenstions my picture needs so it is displayed as I intent?

Is this something that I could try to work on if I want to try my hand at hacking on the bluesky app or is it already WIP internally?

Actually this would be a great one to hit, it's not on our TODOs and pretty straightforward in its scope
