Description

Is there an existing issue for this?
  • I checked and did not find my issue in the already reported ones
Describe the bug

The Crop module isn't working properly when I use it in the Quick Access Toolbar. I can enable or disable the module without any issues, but I can't access the frame's selection outline; the guidelines appear, but the borders seem to be outside the image.
Selecting the aspect ratio doesn't change anything, but it seems to be working.

Steps to reproduce

1 Enable the cropping tool's features in the Quick Access Toolbar
2 Use the tool to crop an image
3 Try selecting the cropping frame
4 see the error, the borders seem to be outside the image.

Please provide additional context if applicable. You can attach files too, but might need to rename to .txt or .zip

I can reproduce it with older darktable master since 5.5; perhaps later, but I don't test it.

Research direction

Start by reproducing the crop tool through the Quick Access Toolbar on Linux with darktable version 7abae9d, then compare it with the regular crop workflow. Investigate why the selection outline and borders fall outside the image and why aspect-ratio selection has no visible effect. Done means the crop frame can be selected and adjusted correctly from the toolbar.
