Photo edit mode, the first cropping action has a buggy behavior

I have recently found that when I rotate and picture and then go to crop it, the crop still wants to treat it as a horizontal picture instead of a vertical. Then, if I want to post the picture to say a blog, it still shows it as a horizontal picture.

These photos are taken by iPhone (in horizontal).

I can work around this by rotate, rotate, crop and revert, then crop again.

But apparently, there's a bug here.

It may help to set a custom aspect ratio when cropping.

In the crop tool in Photos click "Custom" and enter the new Portrait orientation aspect ratio, and set the checkmark for Portrait orientation.

Sometimes the custom cropping is preserving the landscape orientation. Like this:

I'm not seeing that, on 11.2.3.

Here is one that was shot horizontal, rotated once anti clockwise, and then cropped.
