 Just noticed the automatic update WP 4.5.1 in the two sites I did update
 to 4.5. At  first I checked if another bug I reported was fixed:
 https://core.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/36523. I was able to insert full-
 sized images into page/posts. It worked for 2 out of 3 images. The new
 problem is that '''I could not upload any images that were larger than
 2MB'''. I tried different sizes and anything over 2 MB produced an error
 (attached). I could reproduce this in both of the sites with WP 4.5.1.

 When I went to other sites, which I did not update to WP 4.5 (or 4.5.1) I
 could upload images of any (reasonable) size, the largest of them was over
 3.5 MB.

 So, if you work a lot with images, the Media Library is still not back to
 stable.
