Images Being Renamed in 6.5

[roaming1]

Wordpress 6.5 renaming uploaded images according to the image comment data. Reverting to 6.4.3 fixes the problem. I am using default (no plugins and default theme) instillation on local host with both versions. 6.5 is displaying the same behavior on live site.

This could be related to changes in https://core.trac.wordpress.org/changeset/57267. That did effect the fallback condition to use UserComment, although only in the case where there's no title. Might need to review that logic to check.

Can you provide the image from this upload, @roaming1?

I've tried uploading the image. Found this metadata of the image online. Is there any issue with it:

One of the main problems here is that Canva appears to be putting inappropriate information in the
UserComment field.

It does have IPTC data, but doesn't have an APP13 marker, so WordPress doesn't look at the IPTC data.

In the past, there was no consideration of the UserComment exif data, so the image was uploaded with the file name as the title. Now that the UserComment data is also taken into consideration, this is being loaded with that data instead.

In my opinion, this behavior is correct and as expected for this file - the problem is really with the file. If it either used the UserComment field correctly or had an APP13 marker, it would behave as expected.

Marking this as close and 2nd opinion, because this is a pretty complicated area and I want to make sure somebody else gets a look at it as well.

Interesting, I have been using Canva for several years with WordPress. Upon examination of previous images uploaded-they all have comment data but were never renamed until the changes in WP 6.5. I will reach out to Canva to see if this data can be eliminated or I will have to strip images manually before upload.

[joedolson]

What Canva should do is add an APP13 marker, so that the title field is pulled from the IPTC data. Adding this data into the UserComment field is wrong, but the title is present, and could be used *if* there was a marker to indicate that IPTC data was present.

This is caused by the changes in 6.5; I'm not disputing that; but I think that it's a problem with the image.

Given that this is metadata that is out of our control, and because WordPress is using these meta fields to their specification, I don't see any possible actions for this ticket. There have been a couple reports now with reports going to Canva where the bug originates. I think we'll need to wait for them to have a stance on it, but as it looks today they are using the metadata in a nonstandard way and media maitainers agree WordPress should not accommodate or encourage usage of the metadata in this way.

Going to close, but if Canva has any more info on why the data is valid, we can reconsider.
