Pageimage::size() with copping set to false still crops in 3.0.178

[Tom.]

I need the image to fit inside an area without any cropping applies. Much like applying the CSS property object-fit: contain. 

I would assume setting cropping to false will stop any cropping being applied but in fact it doesn't do anything. I see when I change other values it will get a new file name of 300x300e for example if cropping is set to east. If it's set to false, it has no effect on the file name or image.

I haven't controlled this explicitly within the last PW versions, but it has or should work as expected.

Have you forcedNew when creating the contain-variation?

Do you know PIA? It adds own properties (contain, crop, cover) as shortcuts to the pageimages.
