React Canvas Bug Shrinks Image Editor to 300px

By Meridian48 News Desk · Summarised from DEV Community ·

A developer building a browser-based text removal tool discovered that a canvas wrapper defaulted to 300px width when CSS wasn't loaded, causing the editor to appear tiny. The bug was fixed by ensuring the container width was measured after layout. The fix preserves image aspect ratio across all three stacked canvases.
