Thanks for testing it, Luis.

Unfortunately, this is how it should work. The cached imaged that is presented on the screen is a smaller one. In order to crop, we need the full resolution image — otherwise, the user will end up with a smaller version of the original image.

Fixing that would require pre-loading the image and that brings a lot of additional complexity.
