Double click on an image file in the file browser. Then click on "Trim Image".

Expected result: A change to the cursor to indicate to the user that s/he is now in "crop" mode; and a message telling the user to select a "crop" region by dragging with the mouse.

Actual result: An error message telling the user s/he has to select the region first. But this is putting the cart before the horse; the user should be prompted instead (as explaine above).

To make things worse, UNDO does not work after this operation.
Are you using Calibre downloaded directly from the Calibre website or did you use the repository? If you used the repository, it could be buggered. Get it from the Calibre website and you'll also get the latest version. Even if you got it from the Calibre website, update it to 5.38.
