Umherirrender added a comment to T388429: PHP Notice: A non well formed numeric value encountered ( in filerepo/file/File.php ).

The validation for the width parameter was removed in a9d108ba473208bc208624f84e3200aaf149a6e2 / r21653, but without more context as "Removed for ProofreadPage". That maybe is related to page param, as ProofreadPage handles multipage tiffs, but no idea if that is still an issue.
