Description
At present, interaction with active objects in Fabric.js is primarily determined by their selection status, rather than their visual layering order on the canvas. This feature request aims to align object interaction with their visual representation, allowing for more intuitive and contextually accurate user experiences.
Current State
Despite active objects being positioned behind other objects on the canvas, they maintain prioritization for interaction based solely on their selection status.
Additional Context
I attempted to address this discrepancy by deselecting and re-selecting the object. However, this workaround did not yield the desired outcome. It appears that the canvas continues to prioritize active objects regardless of their z-index position.
canvas.discardActiveObject();
canvas.sendBackwards(target);
canvas.requestRenderAll();
canvas.setActiveObject(target);
