This is hack in ghost admin which I'd rather not pass onto themes, this fix addresses the symptom (stretched images) rather than the cause (images are not square).

The correct solution is to provide square cropping if/when users upload profile pictures. The same thing that happens when you upload a profile picture to Gravatar or, indeed, most websites with a concept of profile pictures.

I think the workaround for now should be "crop your profile image before uploading" rather than polluting theme standards with a hack and seeing that spread into the wider ecosystem.

Tracking this via TryGhost/Ghost#4333
