Original description:
With two monitors, if I choose the Screen constraint for the Crop tool, I get a wide, short crop. I believe the dimensions match the two monitors side-by- side.
That might be what the user wants, if they're trying to make a wallpaper that crosses both screens (which I suppose is possible, although I don't know how to configure the GNOME desktop for that, if it can at all). More likely they want Screen constraints to match one screen. In a multi-monitor situation, Shotwell might have to pick a screen, perhaps Screen 0, perhaps the screen Shotwell is on when the Crop tool is invoked.
We might consider another constraint when multi-monitor setups are detected: All Screens, or something like that, for a truly panoramic crop.
