Mac version missing the auto snap canvas feature

I noticed on the Mac version of Snagit (Version 2022.0.3), if I put a element (text, arrow, etc) that is outside of the cavas area, the canvas gets bigger in order to accomodate.  But as soon as I resize/move, the canvas doesn't automatically snap back.  I have to manually move the canvas back to where it's supposed to be.  On Windows version of Snagit, the canvas border snaps back to the original image.

This happen a lot when editing.  When you plop down text, it's often the wrong size or whatever and causes the canvas size to change all the time.  Resizing the canvas is such a guess - I have no idea if I've resized it to the pixel of the original image boundary, it's all just eye and mouse work.

1. Will Mac version get the auto canvas resize at some point?
2. Is there an easier way to resizing the canvas to fit the image that isn't guess work?

  Hi,

  We don't currently have plans to add the snap back, but there are a few things that may help in this situation:

  1. You can turn off auto-expand canvas in advanced preferences

  2. when it does expand, you can undo once to revert the canvas resize

  3. If you want the canvas to perfectly shrink down to fit all of the objects you have with no extra canvas, you can use the Trim option in the Image menu

  I hope these workarounds help, and if not, I can pass along the need for autoshrink

  Hello, I would greatly appreciate it if you would pass along the need for autoshrink! I just switched from Windows to Mac and this is the one problem I have with the transition...I loved how the "automatically expand the canvas to fit objects" functions in Windows and I'm disappointed that it doesn't work the same way on Mac. Thank you!
