I'm taking this out of draft mode in light of proposed release process changes in #1252. If we decide to follow the revised process, it should be fine to approve and merge this at any time; the PR will remain useful as a Vercel preview and discussion board whether or not it has been merged.

[mialondon]

As discussed on the Slack, I suggest we don't include the 'home' button in this release, as we're looking at the placement of icons following UX work with Scott Jenson, and it'd be confusing for it to appear then disappear in subsequent releases. It's also slightly confusing as it only resets some of the image manipulation options (zoom and position but not rotate or colour controls), and the 'home' icon generally means 'take me to a home page', not 'reset'.

[demiankatz]

@mialondon, I somehow didn't realize that the home button was new to this release; I thought it had always been there! I agree that it doesn't make sense to add it here, and I suspect that its appearance is an accidental side effect of some other change.

@mialondon, PR #1259 should fix this problem; see the description there for an explanation of exactly what happened.
