The exact behavior is actually the activeObject is at the forefront of the canvas. As a workaround, I could discard active object at the object:moved event.
I'm curious what's the rationale behind this default behavior. If there's a text element intersected on top of an image, the text element is hidden while the image is being moved. Is there any recommended way to get around this issue?
