Changing Facebook Profile Pictures isn't a really striking issue but there's a minor issue from the side of Facebook where cropping your Profile Picture has been mandatory for some users.
You may say "Oh! Seriously? I don't have such an issue". Yeah, you're right but have a look on these screen shots.
In the above screenshot there is no any button like "Skip Cropping" and there are only "Crop and Save" and "Cancel" buttons.
Check the below screenshot which is another Facebook account in which there is an Option to "Skip Cropping".
This justifies that Facebook User Interface isn't same for all the users. There's been a small research saying that Facebook User Interface not only varies for user to user in desktop version , but also while using Facebook on Various Devices.
