dang.
so if you screenshot a picture, you don't have to resize it afterwards, it works perfectly?
because mine blows up any screenshot huge and like you say, I have to crop out most of the picture, leading me to add huge borders manually if I want the full picture as my wallpaper.
Try doing it from the gallery, pick your image, then 3-dot menu, Set As, choose Wallpaper, it gives you a cropping box. Works perfectly for me, so far.
Edit: On some phones the cropping box isn't obvious - you grab the image and drag it around within the preview space.
That second photo in the previous comment is the preview pane and cropping tool you're taking about, unfortunately.
however i enter the wallpaper app, either through three dots, use as, wallpaper, or through the home screen long tap process i described, the preview pane pops up with a massively oversized picture that I'm allowed to crop but not resize.
Looks like my pixel had something wrong with its wallpaper app.
at least the border trick works.
i did ask about this on reddit a couple years ago and had a few people respond with the same issue, so it seems like some crappo software some of us are stuck with.
I don't want to factory reset the phone over this glitch, given how many other pixel bugs probably won't be fixed anyway even after the hassle of a reset.
it's bizarre, but I'm glad that it isn't affecting you or others.
