To fix this you need the ability to do several operations at once. SVG addresses this by being completely retained, so the UA can figure out when it should merge boundaries automatically. <canvas> will gain some sort of retained API in the future that will allow the same ability. In other words, this is either already fixed or will fix itself in the future. Nothing to be concerned about right now. ~TJ
