Maybe I didn't explain myself properly, but the issue with new layout
methods is happening when you paint the selection gaps, if you don't
paint them the issue disappears.

A very simple example with Flexbox:
<div style="display: flex;">
  <div style="order: 1;">first</div>
  <div style="order: 2;">second</div>
  <div style="order: 3;">third</div>
  <div style="order: 2;">fourth</div>
</div>

Try to select from "first" to "third", with selection gaps painting the
final result is really bad. Without gaps painting it should be better.
