In Bluescape, when you use the Hide/Reveal Canvas feature, the canvas occasionally displays the incorrect control bar.

# Steps to reproduce

1. Have two users joined to the same workspace. One is an owner/facilitator. The other one is an editor.
2. Create a hidden canvas and leave it selected so the control bar shows. At this point the control bar is displaying correctly.
3. Position 2 shapes/notecards outside the canvas on opposite corners (e.g. one outside the top-left corner and one outside the bottom-right corner).
4. Have the editor multi-select the elements, such that the canvas is within the selection box. Note that in essence, the canvas is not selected.
5. Observe the owner/facilitator’s control bar.

## Expected result

The control bar does not change.

## Observed result

The control bar changes to a control bar that’s similar to a notecard/shape’s control bar.

## Additional Information

Have the editor release the selection and have the owner/facilitator reload the workspace.

# Workaround

Have the editor release the selection and have the owner/facilitator reload the workspace.
