Canva has many subtle behaviors, such as how it clips and pan photos, snapping and alignment. If you want to build something comparable I would recommend ditch fabricjs and roll your own. Just need to brush up on matrix transform and vector math.

Thanks for the clarification. Gracefully handled.
That's a lot of anger for some fairly reasonable advice.
Can’t argue with you
