Description

Image customization crop/rotate mode on iOS 26 does not show the expected Cancel/Done buttons, leaving no way to exit or apply changes other than killing the app.

Steps to reproduce

Starting from the post editor on iOS 26:

  1. Add an image to a post.
  2. Tap the image to open the image options.
  3. Tap Customize.
  4. Tap the crop/rotate icon.
Expectation

Cancel and Done buttons are visible in crop/rotate mode so the user can apply or discard edits and return to the editor.

What happened instead

On iOS 26, the Cancel and Done buttons are not visible in crop/rotate mode. The user cannot exit the view and has to force-quit the app.

Context

iOS 26. Issue only observed on iOS 26 so far; feature works as expected on earlier versions according to another tester. Kanvas library was recently updated and may be related.

Research direction

Start by reproducing the post-editor flow on iOS 26 through Customize and crop/rotate, then inspect the image customization implementation and the recent Kanvas library update. Compare behavior with an earlier iOS version if available. Done means Cancel and Done are visible, allow discarding or applying edits, and return to the editor without force-quitting.
