A small change to the interface for extremely wide (or tall) cropped images showed up in a recent update. I think this was in 3.4, but I could be wrong — I didn’t spot it right away.

If you crop an image extremely wide, like this:

The thumbnail in the Browser will now look like this:

No you can’t see the entire image in the thumbnail anymore, however I think this is far better than seeing a wide, 5-pixel tall strip of… wait what is that dark smudge, anyway?

I noticed this with panoramic photos created on my iPhone 4S. Which are great panos by the way!

Hah! I didn’t even occur to me that the iPhone panoramic photos were probably the impetus for this feature change. Of course!

(as you can see, I haven’t upgraded yet :)
