New symbol on photos since latest update 18.6.2 but possibly since 18.6.1


I have noticed this symbol on a couple of my photos in the bottom right corner of the photo when looking at all of the photos in the library and also it’ll be next to the picture information area when I click the info icon. When I click the actual picture it will disappear but if I click the info icon it will be next to the photo information. What the heck does it mean?

Apparently. This is a picture taken with my Nikon in normal 4:3 mode and cropped to help focus on the interesting parts rather than on the dirt and bushes. Photos considers it a panorama.

The pictures I have that are called "panorama" all have a width that is more than twice the height.
